Mars Express' Remarkable Discovery
Manage episode 396876996 series 2316625
The European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter has potentially identified enormous ice water deposits beneath the Martian surface. Located at the Red Planet's equator, these deposits are estimated to be about 3.7 kilometers thick. If melted, they could cover Mars with a water layer approximately two meters deep or fill Earth's Red Sea. This revelation is reshaping our perception of Mars, suggesting a past where glaciers, lakes, and river channels were prevalent.
