Discover an oasis of more than 3.5 billion years on Mars once had life?

The surface of Mars is a huge desert, but billions of years ago, an oasis existed here, according to a new study.

RT on 8/10 reported, scientists have identified a 160 km wide crater (named Gale) exists on the surface of Mars more than 3.5 billion years ago by analyzing data due to Curiosity expedition robot of the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) collects.

This finding provides insight into the history of the "Red Planet" at a time when life could exist.

"Understanding when and how Mars climate changes are part of the puzzle: When and how the Red Planet can support bacterial life on the surface"?

Gale Crater may be what remains after the meteorite fell to the surface of Mars. Therefore, it is like a unique place for preserving Mars. If you are looking for evidence of the prehistoric climate of the Red Planet, the Gale Crater will be an ideal place, "said William Rapin, lead author of research published in Nature Geoscience.

Gale Crater may be what remains after the meteorite fell to the surface of Mars.

A part of the crater called 'Old Soaker' has the most obvious sign of an ancient oasis. Scientists believe that the area used to have a lot of water but then dried up. However, whether life exists at this time remains a mystery.

Curiosity explorers landed on the surface of Mars in 2012. Here, Curiosity collected samples and studied the climate and geology of the "Red Planet" for 2,600 consecutive times. Currently, this explorer robot is exploring atop Sharp, located at the center of Gale crater.
