NASA have announced the discovery of evidence suggesting salt water flows on the surface of Mars.
The find is based on photographs from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter which show dark "tendrils" emerging from rocky outcrops and flowing hundreds of metres down slopes. Its the best ever evidence for the current presence of liquid water on Mars and is a prime target for future robotic missions to the planet in the search for alien life.
Striking new images from the mountains of Mars may be the best evidence yet of flowing, liquid water, an essential ingredient for life. The findings, reported on Thursday in the journal Science, come from a joint US-Swiss study.
