Scientists using observations from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter said they’ve found powerful evidence that briny water routinely flows on the Martian surface. This particular water source ...

Clusters of dark, narrow lines that periodically emerge and lengthen on slopes in the warmer regions suggest briny water on Mars might still be flowing in a few rare places on the planet's surface.

Right now, 140 million miles away, somewhere on the frigid surface of Mars, there is water forming. Scientists announced they have strong evidence that briny water flows on the planet, a critical ...

Scientists are also still trying to figure out where the briny water originates. MRO can only sample the temperature of the first few centimeters of the regolith, or Mars "soil." Scientists also ...

Fun #Mars fact: One of the places where liquid water flows have been seen is Acidalia Planitia — same place they landed in @MartianMovie. Salty or “briny” water melts more readily than ...

“The best explanation we have for these observations so far is flow of briny water, although this study does not prove that,” said Alfred McEwen of the University of Arizona’s Lunar and ...

Mars continues to slowly give up its secrets. If briny water exists just below the Martian surface, it has the potential to hold enough oxygen molecules to support life, a new study reports.

But a computer model developed by a US team suggests the planet's briny underground lakes is composed of salt and water. And they are probably able to store up enough oxygen to allow alien life to ...

Clusters of dark, narrow lines that periodically emerge and lengthen on slopes in the warmer regions suggest briny water on Mars might still be flowing in a few rare places on the planet's surface.

It also could signal a new problem for industry as salt water breaking out without a conduit like an old well is extremely unusual. Contaminated, salt-laden water is bubbling up from the ground on ...
