NASA suspects flowing, salty water on Mars

NASA announced today in a live press conference that after studying Mars for 2 and a half Mars years they have found signs of flowing water on the surface visible during seasonal shifts.

Time sequence imaging near the Newton crater in the southern mid-latitude area of Mars have shown a seasonal change with what they are referring to as ‘dark flows’.

The flows repeat every year in seven other confirmed sites on Mars, mostly near the southern, mid-latitude zone or the equator of Mars.

The temperature of this are ranges from minus 10 to plus 80 degrees Fahrenheit which are easily appropriate temperatures for water to flow.

They expect the water to be very salty but emphasize that this is all circumstantial evidence so far.

This leads to all sorts of speculation of possible life on Mars.
