Is there life on Mars? New discovery of lakes on the Red Planet

CONSENT FAILED

Smith believes that lakes of liquid water are “hard to support at this point.” But most researchers, including Jeffrey Plaut of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, were not convinced by this argument.

“In planetary science, we often get closer to the truth. ‘The original study didn’t prove there was water on Mars, and these new papers (Smith’s and others recently published) don’t prove it’s not. But we try to narrow down the possibilities as much as possible to reach consensus,” Plaut said. spoke.

On the other hand, a different study published last month detected dozens of lakes one and a half kilometers below the surface of the Red Planet.
