Recently, planetary scientists detected hydrated salts on these slopes at Hale crater, corroborating their original hypothesis that the streaks are formed indeed by liquid water.
we also found spectral evidence for hydrated salts on the slopes where RSL form.""Hydrated salts precipitate from liquid water,
so detecting them is a big deal especially since circumstances make it unlikely that CRISM could spot RSL water directly.
. so I think this hydrated signature of the salts is definitely a'smoking gun, '"he said.
