NASA Finds Evidence of Recent Flowing Water on Mars

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the some-bound-to-claim-theory-is-all-wet dept.

SonicSpike writes to mention that Scientists are claiming that they have evidence of water flowing on Mars within the last five years. From the article: "Subsurface aquifers or melting ground ice were floated as possible sources of the water. One of the springs even appears at a fault line, according to Malin, just as they often do on Earth. The shortness of the gulleys, which seem to flow for but a few hundred yards, might be accounted for by a process similar to a volcano's eruption on Earth, with water instead of magma building up underground, and ice, instead of fire, characterizing the resulting flow."

    They just need more funding. This is again a lot of 'may be' and 'might be' stuff coming back to us.
