Find out evidence of the ancient lake on Mars

The US Space Agency (NASA) on January 20 said NASA's Mars orbiter (MRO) probe provided evidence of an ancient lake on Mars's crater, reinforcing Add the hypothesis that Red Planet once had life.

In an article published on the electronic version of Nature Geoscience, NASA said the measurements from the MRO spectrometer showed traces of carbonate and clay minerals that often formed in water at the bottom of the mountain McLaughlin fire on Mars.

These new findings suggest the formation of carbonate and clay in a groundwater lake in the basin of the crater above.

According to NASA, some of the agency's researchers have claimed that the inside of McLaughlin Crater has water and that the underground area provides water for this crater that may have wet environments and living environment.

Scientists say the crater lacks large canals flowing in, so water, if ever in this lake, is likely to be groundwater.

Currently NASA's Curiousity self-propelled ship is exploring the surface of Mars since successfully landing on the Red planet last August.

NASA scientist Rick Zurek said the findings suggest that Mars is more complex than previous observations and that at least some areas of Mars are more likely to carry life signs than elsewhere.
