NASA announced that there is...occasionally...flowing, liquid water on the surface of Mars.For the first time, NASA has confirmed the existence of liquid water on the surface of Mars, according to new research announced Monday.The historic findings by scientists from NASA and several US universities are based on research on dark, narrow and elongated streaks that appear on the surface of the Red Planet and which are known as "recurring slope lineae" (RSL). 'We found evidence of water activity in hydrated salts on Mars' Lujendra Ojha [Georgia Tech] Research shows the streaks "appear and grow incrementally in the downslope direction during warm seasons". NASA scientists suggest the streaks were formed as a result of salty "flows" or "seeps" because they bear a striking resemblance to the shapes and curves that water on Earth makes as it flows along the surface of the ground.
