691 Washington, March 17 Vast amounts of ancient water may have been trapped beneath the surface of Mars, according to a NASA-funded study which challenges the current theory that the Red Planets water escaped into space. Evidence found on the surface of Mars suggests that abundant water flowed across Mars billions of years ago, forming pools, lakes, and deep oceans, and where did all that water go has been a matter of investigation. The new study, published in the journal Science, shows that ...

Mars May Be Hiding Most Of Its "Missing" Water Underground: NASA-Funded Study Mars May Be Hiding Most Of Its "Missing" Water Underground: NASA-Funded Study The researchers from California Institute of Technology and NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) found that around four billion years ago, Mars was home to enough water to have covered the whole planet in an ocean about 100 to 1,500 metres deep. Evidence found Mars surface suggests that abundant water flowed across Mars billions of year...

What happened to Marss water? 17/03/2021 The question, then, is where did all that water go? The answer: nowhere. According to new research from Caltech and JPL, a significant portion of Marss water— between 30 and 99 percent—is trapped within minerals in the planets crust. The research challenges the current theory that the Red Planets water escaped into space. The Caltech/JPL team found that around four billion years ago, Mars was home to enough water to have covered the whole planet in a...

March 17, 2021Caltech Billions of years ago, the Red Planet was far more blue; according to evidence still found on the surface, abundant water flowed across Mars and forming pools, lakes, and deep oceans. The question, then, is where did all that water go? The answer: nowhere. According to new research from Caltech and JPL, a significant portion of Mars’s water—between 30 and 99 percent—is trapped within minerals in the planet’s crust. The research challenges the current theory that th...

New research from Caltech and JPL suggests that Mars never lost its water — it just drank it up, so to speak. Digital rendering of Mars. Image credits Kevin Gill via Wikimedia. Billions of years ago, our red neighbor had an atmosphere and maintained liquid water on its surface. We know this because Mars’ surface is littered with ancient river- and lake beds. The prevailing wisdom today is that once the planet lost its geological activity and thus, its magnetic field, it lost, in turn, its a...

New data challenges the long-held theory that all of Mars's water escaped into space Billions of years ago, the Red Planet was far more blue; according...

What if most of Mars' water never actually drifted into space?
