NASA has
recently made the discovery of the existence of water on the planet Mars,
encouraging the idea of possible life there.
Scientists studied light waves with an imager aboard the Mars
Reconnaissance Orbiter and observed evidence of water. This obviously does not mean there is any of
proof of life on Mars at the moment, but the fact that water is present can
justify how something could survive in Mars’s harsh climate. As John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for the Science Mission
Directorate at NASA
quoted, “The existence of liquid water, even
if it is super salty briny water, gives the possibility that if there's life on
Mars, that we have a way to describe how it might survive.”
The discovery of
water on Mars is incredibly significant in American and more importantly
scientific history. If at some point
life is discovered on the planet, it would be one of the biggest scientific
discoveries in history. I think it’s
incredible that science and technology have evolved so much that humankind is
able to make these types of discoveries and provide incredible knowledge of not
just our own planet, but others as well.
