Mars may contain a giant ice lake

According to scientists from many prestigious research institutes around the world, Mars may be holding a huge amount of water or ice under the surface.

According to research from scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology, Planetary and Moon Institute in Houston (USA), Carnegie Science Institute in Washington (USA) and NASA's Scientific Research and Discovery Division, There have been signs that there is a huge amount of water under the surface of Mars in the form of ice.

By studying the structure of the Martian meteorite debris found on Earth, scientists found that although there are many hydrogen atoms found in the Martian crust and atmosphere. However, they have different isotope ratios than the atoms found in meteorites.

The difference in the number of neutrons indicates that hydrogen atoms in meteorite samples may have been removed from many different sources of water at a small scale.

In fact, isotope markers can be different when they are found in large areas such as a giant lake. There scientists find that isotopes in meteorites do not reach their equilibrium with Mars's atmosphere.

Instead, another possibility is taken into account, which is the sublimation of the ice into the atmosphere and then the loss of hydrogen atoms out into space.

Further research on many other rock samples, scientists found that if there is really such a place to store water or ice under the surface of Mars, this will be a very important signal for humanity.

Earlier this December, NASA also launched a test of the Orion space ship to serve humanity's conquest of Mars from now until 2030. Although there are still limitations and challenges. The science and technology are very big, but with determination, the hope that people can set foot on this planet will certainly not be far away.
