The Seas Of Mars

So, the latest discovery is that the rover has reached the shore of what was a sea, filled with salt water. Though they dont yet know how large the sea was or how long it was there.


Opinions?

woah woah woah, you need to provide links and information. That seems very unlikely, since the roavers don't go very far, and none of the images even hinted at evidence of standing water there now.

"We think Opportunity is now parked on what was once the shoreline of a salty sea on Mars," said Dr. Steve Squyres of Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., principal investigator for the science payload on Opportunity and its twin Mars Exploration Rover, Spirit.

Cheers for jumping in on my behalf BIlly!

There you go, Jungle Jake.. Proof, if proof be need be!


To be honest JJ, I would have thought everyone would be keeping a look out for this today, as Kano had given us a good 'ed's up in this thread yesterday!

Ahh, my bad. My understanding was that you were saying the ocean was there now, not in the past.

Hrm, 2 things..

Why did you put 'edited by Dmsoldier'?

and why link to an ATSNN article when people can comment in that thread?

I edited and added the link.

Triplesod edited my edit note out and added a DMSoldier edit.

Ah ok, strange chap

Anyhoo..
