This self-portrait of NASA's Curiosity Mars rover shows the vehicle at the "Big Sky" site, where its drill collected the mission's fifth taste of Mount Sharp. The scene combines dozens of images taken during the 1,126th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's A new study from NASA's mars science laboratory and the team operating the Curiosity rover – which has been gathering data on Mars since it landed three years ago – confirmed that the planet, billions of years ago, had lakes of water over an extended Billions of years ago, there were lakes shimmering on Mars. That is the conclusion from the team behind NASA's mars science laboratory/Curiosity, who used data from the Curiosity rover to determine that water helped deposit sediment into Gale Crater. mars science laboratory project scientist at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, and co-author of the study. Before Curiosity landed on Mars in 2012, scientists proposed that Gale Crater was filled with layers of sediment. Some hypotheses were The team working with NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover has found the best evidence to date that, billions of years ago, Mars once had lakes that lasted for extended periods of time. This is just the latest discovery concerning the Recent observations from Curiosity strongly indicate that a series of long-lived streams and lakes existed on Mars between 3.8 and 3.3 billion years ago. These results have led the Mars Science Laboratory team to the conclusion that the ancient climate on .

MAHLI was built by Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Recently, the team of experts operating the Curiosity rover – which has landed on the Red Planet about two years ago – along with NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory found evidence that there were lakes of water on Mars, billions of years ago. In a new paper published October 9, 2015, in the journal Science, the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) team presents recent results of its quest to not just follow the water but to understand where it came from, and how long it lasted on the surface of Mars We have heard the Mars exploration mantra for more than a decade: follow the water. In a new paper published October 9, 2015, in the journal Science, the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) team presents recent results of its quest .
