Planet Mars it has been explored for some time by NASA's Curiosity probe, and recently it made an incredible discovery that it shared with the whole world. NASA's Curiosity probe has been inside a crater called Gale for several weeks, which has a diameter of 158 kilometers, but is also several million years old, so it was not formed recently, and it hides many secrets .
The planet Mars is a great mystery for mankind, but Curiosity discovered that in the center of this crater there was a former lake, which dried up approximately 3.5 million years ago, without any explanation. NASA researchers came to this conclusion after carefully analyzing rocks covered with mineral salts from that crater on the planet Mars, these being the main evidence that there was once a lake there.
INCREDIBLE Discovery on Planet Mars Revealed by NASA
The planet Mars does not yet have water discovered by those from NASA, but in the animation above you can see how they think this lake existed 3.5 million years ago, but also how it dried up. Having this discovery, now NASA would like to know how long it took to dry up that lake on the planet Mars, and of course it will have to do a lot more explorations until it manages to reach a clear conclusion.
The planet Mars has not yet discovered any clear evidence that there is, or ever was, life there, but researchers are pinning their hopes on proving this. NASA associates water with life, so any kind of proof that there is, or was, water on the planet Mars is proof that there is, or was, life, even in the form of microorganisms.
The planet Mars still amazes NASA researchers with what it hides, and we will surely learn more and more amazing information about it in the coming years.
