Is there water on Mars?
NASA’s rover, Curiosity, found evidence that a shallow river once flowed on Mars, an indication that the now-desolate planet was once hospitable to life. The rover’s photos of the Gale Crater show that a winding waterway once carried along pebbles and sand grains that became trapped in rock. Other indicators suggest the river was between ankle deep and waist deep.
