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

The Independent

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

Radar images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2010 suggest the presence of caves beneath the Moon’s Sea of Tranquility. Moon caves could offer astronauts ideal locations for establishing lunar bases and studying the satellite’s geologic history. Caves on Mars could provide the same for future explorers and are also a potential refuge for Martian microbial life.

Finding caves on the Moon is great. On Mars? Even better.

Vast reservoirs found on Mars, scientists say

 Groundbreaking new evidence points to the likely presence of vast lakes of liquid water under the Martian surface that could potentially sustain life on the planet, scientists say.The evidence is presented in a study published in the journal PNAS on Monday. It indicates that there’s enough water in underground reservoirs on Mars to create oceans on the Red Planet’s surface.Researchers analysing data from Nasa’s InSight lander noticed that tiny cracks and pores in rocks in the middle of the Martian crust, 11 to 20km below the surface, could store liquid water.The finding may help researchers understand the climate history...

Geophysicists have unveiled a discovery of monumental proportions beneath the surface of Mars: a colossal hidden ocean capable of sustaining life. This subterranean reservoir, unearthed through seismic data collected by NASA's InSight Lander, is of such staggering scale that it could engulf the entire planet under a mile of water.

Hidden Ocean Discovered Beneath Mars Could Hold Clues to Extraterrestrial Life

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.

Mars May Have Far More Water Than We Thought

New York Post

SINGAPORE — A study released Monday using data from NASA’s Mars InSight lander shows evidence of liquid water far below the surface of the fourth planet, advancing the search for life there and showing what might have happened to Mars’ ancient oceans.

The lander, which has been on the red planet since 2018, measured seismic data over four years, examining how quakes shook the ground and determining what materials or substances were beneath the surface.



Based on that data, the researchers found liquid water was most likely present deep beneath the lander. Water is considered essential for life, and geological studies show...
