Martian permafrost may hide veins of habitable liquid water
AI에 의해 보고됨
New calculations suggest that Mars's frozen subsurface could contain networks of narrow liquid water channels large enough to support microbial life. These veins, formed in permafrost, might exist in regions with high salt content that prevents freezing. Researchers argue this could be a promising site for searching extraterrestrial life.
