Mars has water 3 billion years ago

Based on the three-dimensional imaging information collected by the Mars observer, British scientists said about 3 billion years ago on Mars may have existed a lot of lakes.

This finding shows that water on the surface of Mars has been around for a long time and millions of years earlier than previous findings.

According to a report by the Imperial Institute of Technology (UK) published on January 4, scientists at the institute collaborated with scientists from the London Academy to study the data collected from The ship explored the American Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, then sketched three-dimensional images.

These images show that there are some concave areas near the equator's equator. There have been many views that this landform was created after ice blocks melted.

However, new images from the probe Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have shown that these dimples can be connected. This is because when large blocks of ice melt, many lakes will form, and it is the flow of these lakes that make them able to communicate with each other.

Besides, scientists also rely on the state of the equator of Mars and speculate that these lakes on Mars were formed about 3 billion years ago, but they have not yet made it clear. The period of time these lakes contain continuous water.

This new finding will help scientists find traces of life on Mars.
