While using ground penetrating radars, researchers have recently discovered underground features that are shared with beaches from roughly 4 billion years ago.
Although Mars may seem like a dry rock, there has been an overwhelming amount of evidence to suggest that it once had an abundance of flowing liquids. Data from the Chinese National Space Administration suggests that there was enough water to fill an ocean. This discovery leads to many more questions, such as when and why the liquids vanished from the planet.
Since water is needed for life, scientists are beginning to look for any signs of past life on the planet. Scientists are also attempting to figure out what waves and tides would look like on a planet like Mars, since it isn’t effected by the Earth’s Moon.
Overall, this amazing discovery may get mankind one step closer to figuring out the secrets of the universe.
