Here's Everything You Need to Know About the Flowing Water on Mars
Mars have been an intriguing and swashbuckling place for our scientists to carry on their experiment. The Scientists are desperately yearning to find out more discoveries related to Mars because they believe that the red planet is showing the sign of living. Earlier, they had found a replica of one of Egypt's Great Pyramids on Mars. Citing the 'near-perfect design and shape', they argue the 'pyramid' is evidence that an ancient civilization once lived on the red planet. Now, NASA has announced it has evidence that "strongly supports" the hypothesis that liquid water is flowing on Mars.
Scientists have discovered a narrow long streak called 'recurring slop lineae' along the surface of the planet's craters and canyon walls. It is confirmed that such long streaks can be formed only due to flowing of waters. Earlier too, The US space agency has also repeatedly announced evidence of water, and also of water vapors and snow. Water is the essence of life and it is believed that there might be chances of life on mars.
"These results strongly support the hypothesis that seasonal warm slopes are forming liquid water on contemporary Mars," say researchers Lujendra Ojha of Arizona University. A Mars researcher also believes that water found on mars is an indication that life cannot only survive, but thrive in those conditions.
Joe Michalski, a Mars researcher at the Natural History Museum London said that these results provide strong evidence that salty water occasionally flows on the Martian surface, even today. We know from the study of extremophiles on Earth that life cannot only survive, but thrive in conditions that are hyperarid, very saline or otherwise 'extreme' in comparison to what is habitable to a human. In fact, on Earth, wherever we find water, we find life. That is why the discovery of water on Mars over the last 20 years is so exciting. We have found water in ice form, in permafrost, and in the structures of many types of minerals.
