A significant amount of water exists under a canyon system on Mars, scientists recently discovered.
The discovery came from the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, which was sent to Mars in 2016 to map the hydrogen near the planet’s surface. Experts are not sure whether the water detected is ice or water-rich minerals.
