HISTORY
2006 NASA reveals photographs taken by Mars Global Surveyor suggesting the presence of liquid water on Mars
NASA photographs reveal the deposits seen in two gullies on Mars that suggest that they have carried water through them over the past seven years. These are of liquid water, and not the water ice and water vapor that were already known to have existed on Mars. The photos have increased speculation of the potential for microbial life on the planet. ‘These observations give the strongest evidence to date that water still flows occasionally on the surface of Mars,’ said one of the Mars Exploration Program’s scientists.
