A sign that life is possible on Mars! Lake found below the surface

New delhi date. 30 September 2020, Wednesday

A new update on the search for life on Mars has been revealed. The US space agency NASA has claimed that scientists have discovered three lakes beneath the surface of Mars. Two years ago, scientists discovered a large reservoir beneath the icy surface of Mars.

Saltwater lakes have been found before

A paper in the environmental magazine Nature Astronomy claims that researchers have discovered three lakes beneath the surface of Mars in addition to the previously discovered saltwater lake. Radar data from the European Space Agency has been used for this discovery.

The lake is spread over 75,000 square kilometers

The report cites a paper by Elena Patinelli of the University of Rome. "We have found a reservoir below the icy surface but we have also found three other lakes," it said. The lake is spread over 75,000 square kilometers. The largest lake is 30 kilometers long, while the three smaller lakes are only a few kilometers wide. '

Existence of life on Mars

It is believed that this discovery could lay the foundation for discovering the characteristics of life on Mars. Scientists believe that this type of lake could point to the existence of life on Mars. The report said that the first search was based on 29 observations between 2012 and 2015. Now the new study is based on comprehensive data and is based on 134 points from 2012 to 2019.

If there is 20 times more salt, it will be considered useless

A report by John Prescou, an environmental scientist at Montana State University, states that such reservoirs cannot be considered a source of life if the lake's water contains 20 times more salt than Earth's water.
