Mars water: Liquid water reservoirs found under Martian crust
www.bbc.com
Studies of quakes detected from the planet's surface found it in the planet's rocky outer crust.

Scientists have discovered a reservoir of liquid water on Mars - deep in the rocky outer crust of the planet.

The findings come from a new analysis of data from Nasa’s Mars Insight Lander, which touched down on the planet back in 2018.

The lander carried a seismometer, which recorded four years’ of vibrations - Mars quakes - from deep inside the Red Planet.

Analysing those quakes - and exactly how the planet moves - revealed “seismic signals” of liquid water.

    Is it really world news if it didn’t happen on this world?

        That’s generally what “world” means

            It’s possible to use it to refer to a non-planet region (bigger or smaller) in a more general sense, but I wouldn’t say that’s the most common usage.

            I guess it’s like german “Realität”/“Wirklichkeit” (both meaning reality).

            I understand “Realität” (reality) to mean something “real”, like something touchable. Language, and literature are not “real” to me. They’re “wirklich”, but not “real”.
