Evidence For Liquid Water On a Frozen Early Mars

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

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."
