The existence of water on Mars has long been a subject of curiosity and debate. A recently published study presents compelling evidence of ancient “wave ripples” in rocks that were shaped by Martian water and winds billions of years ago.

These ripples, imprinted on the Martian surface, speak to a time when shallow bodies of water were open to the Martian air.

    I like how the thumbnail and header image isn’t properly cited as an artist rendering. But I mean, it drives clicks I suppose, so go crazy with fake and misleading images. Got to love click bait.

    Asteroid ejecta from Mars has reached Earth so many times, we can assume the opposite has happened too. So if Mars was warm and wet, it seems likely it was seeded with life from Earth. This suggests another question, did life on Earth arrive from elsewhere via this method?

    No one is moving to Mars in the next 200 years, get over it!

      Moving sustainably? No. Moving? Probably. Sounds like the US is gearing up to make NASA launder fund SpaceX for putting humans on Mars. Probably without increasing the budget after complaining they get too much. I’m sure a round trip will be promised and have the same return success rate as ISS.
