ANASA spacecraft circling Mars has found evidence of flowing water on the Red surface a nd in our time, not in some dim and more verdant past.

New data reveal that close neighbor boasts multiple seeps of salt-laden water that were wet, or at least damp, as recently as last year. The water may be many times saltier than ocean, but there could be enough of it to provide a bonanza for humans exploring the surface. Mars is not the dry, arid planet we thought of in the NASA planetary science chief Jim Green said onday. certain circumstances, liquid water has been found on ntil now, thought of the current Mars as a barren, extremely dry and cold said SETI Institute planetary scientist Janice Bishop, who take part in the research. is new and exciting here is hat this provides evidence for liquid water on Mars in he current Eons ago, Mars had enough water to fill enormous lakes and rivers.

But scientists prospecting for the wet stuff in recent decades had to content themselves with ice at the poles, small amounts of water vapor in the atmosphere and water locked up in minerals in he Martian soil. The wet Mars of billions of years ago seemed to have become a desiccated world. But five years ago, researchers spotted mysterious dark streaks running down the warm slopes of Martian craters and mountains. The lines disappeared in the cold season and reappeared in the warm season, like spring freshets on Earth. hey looked tantalizingly like a sign of liquid water, ut landslides or dust be ruled out, said study co-author Scott Murchie of the Applied Physics Laboratory.

Along the mysterious lines, the spacecraft detected the signature of waterlogged molecules of perchlo- ate, chemicals made up of chlorine and oxygen, the scientists report in this Nature Geoscience. Something is moistening ample deposits of perchlorate, said study leader Lujendra Ojha, a graduate student at the Georgia Institute of Technology. And hat something must be liquid water. Maybe the perchlorate itself is pulling water vapor out of the Martian atmosphere. Or maybe water from melting ice flows down hillsides and soaks the perchlo- rate in the soil.

Or maybe water is trickling out of an aquifer. The amount of water could be huge: The scientists estimated that one dark line contains, at a minimum, nough water to fill 40 of the enormous swimming pools used for international competitions.
