- Scientists discovered liquid water on Mars for the first time.
- As per a new study, there could be Oceans of liquid water inside the rocky outer crust of Mars.
- This is the first time that scientists have discovered liquid water on the planet.
- ‘Liquid water in the Martian mid-crust’ study was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
- This layer is situated at depths of about 10 to 20 km in the Martian crust.
- The study predicts that water could have seeped from the surface billions of years ago when Mars have rivers, lakes, and possibly oceans.
- This finding would help researchers understand the water cycle of Mars in a better way.
- The discovery would also give impetus to the ongoing search for evidence of life on Mars.
- The researchers used the data from NASA’s Mars Insight Lander, which landed on Mars in 2018.
