Scientists Discover Liquid Water on Mars

News summary

Recent studies reveal the presence of liquid water deep within Mars' crust, potentially forming a vast underground ocean located 10 to 20 kilometers below the surface. This discovery, based on seismic data from NASA’s InSight Lander, enhances our understanding of Mars’ water cycle and its geological history, and may indicate conditions that could support life. Concurrently, NASA's Perseverance rover has collected sedimentary rock samples from Jezero Crater, which are over 3.5 billion years old and formed in ancient water environments, suggesting that Mars once had habitable conditions. The analysis of these samples, which is planned for return to Earth by 2033, may provide critical insights into ancient Martian life. Both studies underscore the importance of water in Mars' past and its implications for future explorations aimed at uncovering life beyond Earth. Together, these findings mark a significant advancement in our quest to understand Mars' climate and potential for life.
