Vast Liquid Water Reservoirs Discovered 12 Miles Beneath Mars Surface
Aug 12, 2024, 07:15 PM
Recent scientific studies have provided compelling evidence of vast reservoirs of liquid water beneath the surface of Mars. The water is believed to exist in deep, buried reservoirs under layers of ice, approximately 12 miles beneath the surface, making it difficult for current technology to access. These findings suggest that an ocean's worth of water may be hiding beneath the red dusty surface of Mars. The presence of liquid water raises the possibility of microbial life existing on the planet.
