Great lakes on Mars !!

It was discovered in the south pole of Mars a possible lake of water buried under a kilometer and a half of sediment but careful not too excited because this news comes with many nuances.

As expected there has been a lot of misinformation about this event and it is normal because it is complicated; first of all we have the data taken by the probe, they were obtained in 2015 and nevertheless, the discovery has been made now, this is because until a few weeks ago, the scientists did not learn how to correctly process the data to detect volumes of water, data that was obtained by the probe of the European space agency Mars Express, which has a radar capable of detecting layers several kilometers deep, which seems incredible considering that orbits the planet at 300 kilometers.

And with this to the problem of this matter, another NASA probe has not detected this possible lake and the probe of the European space agency does not have the necessary resolution to detect lakes of water, it can only detect bodies of water, but that Both lakes can be simple layers of mud, wet earth so until we go to Mars and drill to extract samples, we can not confirm what it is and this is why this news is not so relevant.

It is not the first time that the discovery of liquid water on Mars is announced, as we saw already discovered water on Mars, what could be layers of underground mud that emanated in water to the Martian surface in the form of dark deposits, but beware, this it does not mean that we are facing a very encouraging discovery, every time Tuesday it is postulated more as a planet that could house living organisms, it cries out for us to explore it, nevertheless, Jupiter's moon Europe, is still a better candidate to look for life alien.
