Evidence For Liquid Water On a Frozen Early Mars

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the this-sounds-all-wet dept.

Matt_dk writes "NASA scientists modeled freezing conditions on Mars to test whether liquid water could have been present to form the surface features of the Martian landscape. Evidence suggests flowing water formed the rivers and gullies on the Mars surface, even though surface temperatures were below freezing. Dissolved minerals in liquid water may be the reason."
