Scientists Just Found Evidence for Hidden Passageways Under the Moon’s Surface

Someone alert Elon Musk.

NASA’s Curiosity rover made a “mind-blowing” discovery on Mars — yellowish-green crystals of pure sulfur, never before seen on Earth’s mysterious red neighbor, according to scientists.

The literal ground-breaking find was made after the one-ton Curiosity drove over a pile of rocks and cracked one open while probing the deep and winding Gediz Vallis channel, believed to have been formed by water 3 billion years ago.

“I think it’s the strangest find of the whole mission and the most unexpected,” Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity project scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory [JPL] in Pasadena, California, told CNN. “I have to...

NASA’s Curiosity rover makes ‘mind-blowing’ discovery on Mars

The Independent

There appear to be huge reservoirs under Mars, scientists have said.Evidence suggests that there are vast lakes of liquid water under the surface of the red planet, according to a new study.There could be enough water in the underground reservoirs to create oceans on the surface of Mars, the researchers suggest.Using data from Nasa’s Insight lander, the scientists estimated that the amount of groundwater could cover all of Mars to a depth of between one and two kilometres, or about a mile.But the experts say the reservoir is unlikely to be of much use to anyone trying to tap into it to...

Vast reservoirs found on Mars, scientists say

NASA has revealed that its Perseverance rover may have found evidence of past life on Mars in the Jezero crater beside an ancient, dried-up river. A rock, collected on July 21 and nicknamed “Cheyava Falls” by NASA, displays traits that may answer the question of whether Mars was home to microscopic life in the past. […]

Researchers have found evidence for a large underground reservoir of liquid water on Mars – enough to fill oceans on the planet’s surface.Using data from Nasa’s Insight lander, the scientists estimated that the amount of groundwater could cover all of Mars to a depth of between one and two kilometres, or about a mile.But the experts say the reservoir is unlikely to be of much use to anyone trying to tap into it to supply a future Mars colony.It is located in tiny cracks and pores in rock in the middle of the Martian crust, between 11.5 and 20 kilometres...

Scientists find evidence for large underground reservoir of water on Mars

Seismic Data Reveals Unexpected Water Reservoir on Mars. A team of geophysicists has uncovered evidence of a massive underground water reservoir on Mars, potentially solving a long-standing mystery about the planet’s vanished oceans. Using seismic data from NASA’s Insight lander, researchers estimate the newly discovered water source could cover the entire Martian surface to a depth of 1-2 kilometers if brought to the surface.

Hidden Martian Oceans: Vast Water Reserves Discovered Deep Below Surface

ScienceAlert


There are literal oceans' worth of liquid water hiding out on Mars. There's just one big problem. That water is actually in Mars, at depths that are too far below the surface for us to access.



					
			

That's according to new analysis of seismic data collected by the  Mars InSight lander, for which huge reservoirs of liquid water are the best explanation. And, although that water is out of reach, it is an important piece of the strange puzzle of the aquatic history of our dry, desiccated, dusty neighbor.
"Understanding the Martian water cycle is critical for understanding the evolution of the...

Scientists Just Found Oceans of Liquid Water on Mars – But There's a Catch

WATER that could cover Mars with a mile-deep ocean has been found beneath the red planet's surface, scientists says. Evidence for an enormous reservoir of liquid water offers fresh hope of discovering proof of alien life on Mars. The discovery was made by monitoring seismic activity on the red planet...

Mars, though currently a frigid, dry landscape, harbors compelling signs of its wetter past and potential subterranean water sources that could support life or future human colonies. Research indicates ancient Martian rivers and lakes, frozen water at the poles, and minerals suggesting significant water presence. These findings shape the search...

The European Space Agency's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter spied a salt deposit on Mars that likely indicates water once flowed there, in a region known as the "Sea of the Sirens."

Mars orbiter hears the siren song of a salty Red Planet 'mermaid'

In an exciting breakthrough for astronomy and the search for extraterrestrial life, a team of international scientists has announced the discovery of Gliese 12 b, a temperate, Earth-sized exoplanet just 40 light-years away — a relatively neighbourly 378 trillion kilometres from earth. Researchers from across the world, including key...
