An amazing breakthrough reveals a water system on Mars!

Scientists have discovered the first geological evidence of a system of interconnected ancient lakes below the surface of Mars, with the possibility of containing 5 lakes on minerals necessary for life.

A new study revealed that in early March, Mars had attracted a water system beneath the surface of the planet, thanks to data from the European spacecraft (Mars Express).

"The old Mars was an aquatic world, but with the planet's changing climate red, water was deposited beneath the surface to form aquifers and aquifers," Francesco said. Salis, director of the Mars Institute.

The scientists examined 24 deep holes in the northern hemisphere of Mars, which reached a depth of 4,000 meters below the "Martian Sea level". Plates with features that can only be created by water, such as valleys and canals, have been discovered, and it is thought that the dark delta formed from high and low levels of water.

"These lakes have been around for about 3.5 billion years," said co-author Gian Gabriel O'Reilly. "The underlying lakes could be associated with the ocean, which would exist 4 billion years ago.

Researchers wanted to discover minerals in 5 lakes, including mud and carbonates. The study also adds weight to the theory that Mars was home to life at one time.
