posted yesterday on The Nasa HP NASA Announces NASA announced
Possible Evidence of
Water on Mars
today that scientists
studying Mars
Global Surveyor
spacecraft images
have recently
observed features that suggest there may
be current sources of liquid water at or
near the martian surface. Video of
today's press conference is available on
NASA Television and on the Web via
our streaming video webcast archive.
The new images show the smallest
features ever observed from martian
orbit--the size of a large car--and are
comparable to features left by flash
floods on Earth. The findings will appear
in the June 30 issue of Science
magazine. "The presence of liquid water
on Mars has profound implications for
the question of life not only in the past,
but perhaps even today," said Dr. Ed
Weiler, NASA's Associate
Administrator for Space Science. (Full
