liquid water on Mars?

[Tsanten Eywa 'eveng]

Salt water could be running down some slopes of Mars every spring, researchers suggest.

Such a finding would suggest new directions to search for any life that still existed on the Red Planet.

Clusters of dark, narrow lines that periodically emerge and lengthen on slopes in the warmer regions suggest briny water on Mars might still be flowing in a few rare places on the planet's surface.

If there's water then there might be organisms.

The chances of anything man-like on Mars are still, unfortunately, a million to one.

Mas is still unlikely to suport anything beyond a single-celled form, if that... Still interesting though, especially with Mars' similarity to Earth.

Today I hear about this in TV news. Seems interesting.

There still might be _small life.

There still might be _small life.

Super small.

The real impact of finding evidence of past or present life on Mars, or any other body in the solar system besides Earth, is the wider implication for life in the universe.  If we can prove that life existed, or still exists, on a body in the solar system other than Earth, then it's extremely good indirect evidence that life will exist outside our solar system.  And that's an exciting prospect.

SRY for necroposting...

Anyway, don't expect a bunch of blue people you can practice your Na'vi with...
