Since 2012, NASA’s Curiosity rover has been crisscrossing the Martian surface, gathering data about the planet’s history, including evidence of ancient water on Mars.
Curiosity has provided incredible new insights about Mars’ ancient past, with the most recent discovery coming from ripples that scientists say could be evidence of ancient water on Mars.
The most recent findings reveal that areas of the Red Planet that scientists had previously believed drier were actually home to ancient water on Mars. The new evidence comes in the form of ripples in rocks that scientists believe were once found across the planet’s surface.
This recent evidence of ancient water, combined with other research projects, has even led researchers to consider the possibility of past microbial
life on Mars. With the Curiosity rover continuing its mission, the next few years promise to be incredibly revealing as to the history of Mars and its potential for life.
