Water on Mars?
NASA is reporting images from its Mars Global Surveyor satellite strongly suggesting that liquid water has flowed on the surface of Mars in just the past few years. The images show light deposits (probably ice or salt) appearing in a gully in a crater wall. Ken Edgett, a scientist with Malin Space Science Systems, said during a press conference:
We have had this story of ancient water on Mars. Today, we are talking about liquid water that is present on Mars right now.
You have all heard of a smoking gun. [This] is a squirting gun.
