NASA Finds Abundant Evidence if Water on Mars

The article tells of two studies conducted by the NASA, which reveal that Mars hosts a lot of water and a variety of other wet environments that have the potential to support life.

A study was published in the July 17 and this shows that vast regions of Mars, which cover almost half the planet contain clay minerals and that this alone can form or develop in the presence of water. It also mentions that the data and images from this study are taken by the Compact spectrometer reconnaissance imagery of Mars and other instruments placed on the orbiter.

It is also said that the clay minerals preserve a record of the interaction of water with rocks, these records have 4.6 billion to 3.800 billion years and that this period corresponds to the early solar system formation.

The other study, published in the June 2, geological sciences, believes that the wet conditions on Mars persisted or date after the formation of clays.
