this study is based on close analysis of images taken by NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover in 2012 and hint at a much wetter world with flowing rivers in the planet’s past. The rover’s images included fine details of pebbles on the planet, revealing their When NASA recently announced the discovery of liquid water on Mars, the location of this water is what intrigued some scientists the most. These water flows are related to unique features on Mars called recurring slope linae (RSL) — identified in the Last week there was the exciting news that Mars still has flows of briny water occurring now, and this week there is more water-related news: additional findings from the Curiosity rover that the huge Gale crater was once a lake or series of lakes a long Prof Jerolmack said: "When you land a multi-billion dollar rover on Mars, you want to extra as much information from the data as possible." The researchers rolled limestone fragments in a lab drum, periodically pausing to record their shape changes and NASA currently has two operational Mars rovers (Opportunity and Curiosity) and three functioning orbiters circling the Red Planet — Mars Odyssey, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) and MAVEN (whose name is short for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Three years after landing in a giant Martian crater, NASA's Curiosity rover has found what scientists call proof that the basin had repeatedly filled with water, bolstering chances for life on Mars, a study published on Thursday showed. The research .

Three billion years ago, however, the situation may have been much different. In 2012 the Mars Curiosity rover beamed images back to Earth containing some of the most concrete evidence that water once flowed in abundance on the planet. Small, remarkably Pasadena, CA – A new study from the team behind NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory/Curiosity has confirmed that Mars was once, billions of years ago, capable of storing water in lakes over an extended period of time. Using data from the Curiosity rover This image released by NASA on February 7, 2013, taken by Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity, shows a self-portrait of NASA’s Mars rover.

Mars Science Laboratory mission researchers said the data .
