#NASA confirms liquid water flows on Mars NASA has announced that it has discovered flowing liquid salt water on Mars during the Red planet summer months, in
The discovery comes thanks to the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and its imaging spectrometer, which enabled researchers to find telltale signs of hydrated minerals on streaked-looking slopes.
100 meter-long streaks called recurring slope lineae flowing downhill on Mars are inferred to have been formed by contemporary flowing water.
NASA/JPL/University of Arizona) ur quest on Mars has been to ollow the water, in our search for life in the universe,

The darker color on Mars indicates that it probably a shallow subsurface flow, NASA said.

and later paired those images with mineral maps from the spacecraft Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM).
But the primary data source was the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which launched in 2006 and contains four other primary science instruments

#Salty Water Flows on Mars Today, Boosting Odds for Life Liquid water flows on Mars today,
boosting the odds that life could exist on the Red planet, a new study suggests. The enigmatic dark streaks on Mars called recurring slope lineae (RSL) that appear seasonally on steep,
relatively warm Martian slopes are caused likely by salty liquid water, researchers said.""Liquid water is a key requirement for life On earth,
"The presence of liquid water on Mars'present-day surface therefore points to environment s that are more habitable than previously thought."
by studying images captured by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (Hirise) camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO).
100 meter-long streaks (called recurring slope lineae) are flowing downhill on Mars, and are inferred to have been formed by contemporary flowing water.
RSL occur in many different locations on Mars, from equatorial regions up to the planet's middle latitudes.
Ojha and his colleagues scrutinized data gathered about four different RSL locations by another MRO instrument, the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM."
we can deduce the mineralogical makeup of surface materials on Mars, "Ojha said.""What we found was that at times
and places when we see biggest RSL on the surface of Mars, we also found spectral evidence for hydrated salts on the slopes where RSL form."
CRISM observes the Red planet at the driest time of the Martian day, about 3 p m,

a class of chlorine-containing substances that are widespread on Mars. These salts lower the freezing point of water from 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) to minus 94 F (minus 70 C),
"This property vastly increases the stability of brine salty water on Mars, "he said. Perchlorates can absorb atmospheric water,
if Mars'air is the source of the brine flows. Other possibilities include melting of surface or near-surface ice or discharges of local aquifers."
"It is conceivable that RSL are forming in different parts of Mars through different formation mechanisms,
the Red planet was a relatively warm and wet world that could have supported microbial life, at least in some regions.
Mars is extremely cold and dry today, which is why the discovery of RSL sites has generated so much excitement over the past four years:
But the new results don't imply that life thrives on Mars today, or even that this is a likely proposition, Ojha stressed.
#There's water on Mars, NASA confirms There's water on Mars, and it flows there today.
In an eagerly anticipated news event, NASA revealed this morning the evidence of liquid, flowing seasonal water on the Red planet.
Water often signals life, so this new discovery gives hope to the search for life in our solar system.
Data from various probes and rovers like Curiosity and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have provided researchers with evidence concluding that there is flowing water on present-day Mars. Scientists understand that Mars was once Earthlike with large
today's revelation confirms that Mars has harbored water in the past, and that water exists there today.
Michael Meyer of the Mars Exploration Program at NASA explained, "We found the active process on Mars today that shows that water was a likelihood."
"He continued with a description of the geological features that caused scientists to suspect water prior to the confirmation of its presence.
However, recently scientists found a way to analyze data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter by extracting data from the pictures on a per pixel level.
This allows scientists to study smaller details on the Red planet's surface and those details provided the new information.
Findings show that hydrated salts are present on the surface of Mars. Hydrated salts would mean that the water on Mars is briny.
Also, water on Mars could aid in the human exploration of the planet. Water on Mars would be a crucial resource for astronauts visiting the planet or for long-term colonists.
Of course scientists will need to study the nature of the water to know the full implications.
Another possibility is the future Mars 2020 rover or other rovers designed for the task.
The discovery of liquid water on Mars leads to more intriguing questions and mysteries. If there has been did life on mars,
These new findings about liquid water on Mars make scientists and space exploration enthusiasts thirsty for more information n

#Liquid Water Likely Flows On the Salty Hills of Mars It almost as if our moon turned blood red last night to herald NASA latest Red planet news. At 11:30 EDT,
new data that suggests liquid water exists on Mars even today. This could be the first time in mission history that we have definitive reason to believe there might be microbial life on our closest neighbor.
In 1972, NASA Mariner 9 spacecraft discovered evidence of erosion features on Mars that implicated the presence of water at some point in the planet past.
the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) aboard the European space agency Mars Express spacecraft took a photo of a water ice crater 35 meters in diameter at the Martian north pole.
Finally, in March of this year, NASA and colleagues at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) uncovered evidence of a massive ancient ocean that once covered almost half of Mars northern hemisphere.
But until now, scientists had not yet found any signs of liquid water on the present-day surface of Mars
In 2011, Dr. Mcewen (a planetary geologist at the University of Arizona and principal investigator of images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter) spotted dark streaks sloping down some of Mars canyons and mountains.
but measurements indicate very low humidity on Mars only enough for 10 microns, or about 1/2, 500th of an inch, of rain across the planet if all of the wetness were wrung out of the air.
NASA finds evidence of liquid water flowing on the surface of Mars NASA told us it was announcing something big today,
the space agency says images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) have revealed compelling evidence of liquid brines flowing across the planet's surface.
The seasonal rivers of salty water mean there's a greater chance of Mars being able to support life now or in the future.
or dark streaks on the surface of Mars during warmer weather -while it was suspected that trickling water was the cause,
the summer months on Mars see a shallow subsurface flow of briny water coming down from the planet's canyons and crater walls.
or it could be created by some kind of condensation process in the atmosphere of Mars."Our quest on Mars has been to'follow the water'in our search for life in the universe,
-albeit briny-is flowing today on the surface of Mars."Perhaps the biggest potential consequence of the discovery is that visitors to the Red planet could use the water that's hidden away to support themselves
-which is why the discovery that water is now likely to be regularly flowing across Mars is commented so stunning
"The brine on Mars might not directly support life but it suggests that the arid world isn't as dry as once thought.

and cater walls during the summer months on Mars. Eventually these dark streaks dry up as the planet's surface cools in autumn.
Another likely theory could be the water condenses into a liquid from Mars'atmosphere. To this day, Earth is still the only planet in the known universe with liquid H2o on its surface
and so finding out flowing water once exists on Mars is huge. Beyond the geological discovery, dramatically increases our chances of finding extraterrestrial life.
