Liquid water previously detected under Mars’ ice-covered south pole is probably just a dusty mirage, according to a new study of the red planet led by

A suspected Martian underground lake is probably volcanic rock masquerading as water, according to a new study.

Radar images of Mars’s southern ice cap indicated that there could be a lake there – but a new set of simulations hints that it could be volcanic rock instead

Re-examining radar reflections of the south pole allowed planetary scientists from the University of Texas to determine it is likely just volcanic rock under the Martian ice cap.

The NASA rover Curiosity has been tooling around Mars for nearly a decade now, over 3,300 Martian days. It's been examining the environment of Gale Crater, an enormous impact feature over 150 kilometers wide. Billions of years ago Gale was likely a lake of water, and it was chosen as a landing site specifically for Curiosity to examine conditions there and see if they could have once supported life.

The race to colonize Mars is ongoing. However, it is not as easy as sending over people to live in igloo cities. We've already discussed the obstacles

The impressive James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful telescope of this kind ever made, was successfully launched by Arianespace on December 25, 2021. A joint program between NASA and its counterparts in Europe (ESA) and Canada (CSA), Webb will observe the beginnings of our Universe by reaching back in time to just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang.
