Water has been detected on Mars that could harbour life 12 miles beneath the surface, according to new research.

Seismic data from NASA's Insight lander indicates deep, porous rock filled with "oceans" of liquid water. The post ‘Oceans’ of water found on Mars that could harbor life appeared first on Talker.

The findings, published Aug. 12 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, hint at sufficient water to fill oceans and globally cover Mars to a depth of over a mile (1 to 2 kilometers).

A recently released set of topography maps provides new evidence for an ancient northern ocean on Mars. The maps offer the strongest case yet that the planet once experienced sea-level rise ...

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took an image of InSight sitting on the Martian surface on February 2, 2019. The lander was located in a flat plain called Elysium Planitia.

The Mars rover found geological formations in Gale Crater showing how water percolated beneath the surface, and ...

Mars may be around 140 million miles away from Earth, but the red planet is influencing our deep oceans by helping drive “giant whirlpools,” according to new research. Scientists analyzed ...

Zhurong landed on Mars in May 2021 and operated for a year. During that time, the rover traveled about 1.2 miles along escarpments researchers believe were once part of an ocean shore 4 billion years ...

"It's crazy to think that we don't have a complete map of our planet," Ferrini said. Related: 'We know far more about the deep ocean than the moon or Mars,' says explorer Jon Copley Scientists map ...

If Mars’ crust is similar across the planet, there may be more water within the mid-crust zone than the “volumes proposed to have filled hypothesized ancient Martian oceans,” the authors ...
