Mars Orbiter Reveals Evidence Of Underground Lakes – And Possibly Life
A new photograph of Mars suggests that huge lakes of liquid water might lie underneath the Red Planet’s surface.
The find has raised hopes that life may have once existed on the planet – and might even still be there.
Nasa said that the image “adds to an increasingly complex picture” of our nearest neighbouring planet.
Researchers analysed data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft as it looked down on the floor of the McLaughlin Crater, which is 57 miles in diameter and over 1.4 miles deep.
The picture showed that the crater was once deep enough to let underground water flow into its interior.
