Subsurface Water on Mars

Post by Graeme1858 »


NASA has released a new map of Mars’s northern hemisphere showing all the places where subsurface water ice has been detected, some of which are surprisingly close to the equator, as well as surprisingly close to the surface.

It's sure nice to think about how Mars once had oceans, only to see them evaporate in the thin atmosphere.

That's pretty fascinating to think about, we can only imagine what it was like, and if there was any life in it.
