Sensational discovery: Scientists may have found traces of life on Mars!
An international team of scientists has discovered sensational signs confirming the possibility of the presence of large amounts of liquid water deep inside Mars. The scientific information portal Eurekalert reported on this.

This discovery was made jointly by scientists from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Australian National University and the University of Milan-Bicocca in Italy.

The research was conducted based on data collected by NASA's InSight spacecraft on Mars. Scientists carefully analyzed the largest meteorite impacts and seismic tremors that have occurred on the planet.

As a result of the study, slowed-down seismic waves were detected at a depth of 5.4 to 8 kilometers on the planet. According to experts, such anomalies usually appear only due to the presence of liquid water.

According to scientists' calculations, if this water were evenly distributed over the surface of the planet, its height could reach 520-780 meters. This is one of the biggest discoveries in the history of Mars.

Experts noted that this study may raise very important questions related to the existence of life on Mars and the possibility of humans living on this planet in the future.

Researchers also noted that Mars was previously covered with water, and this state ended about 3 billion years ago. Evidence of the presence of water on the surface of Mars was previously detected by the Perseverance apparatus. According to its data, minerals that originated from water were found under the layers of Martian soil.

Researchers believe that this discovery opens up new possibilities for the history and future prospects of the planet.

Is the presence of liquid water on Mars the first step towards the future of humanity?
