New Evidence of Water on Mars Thanks to NASA Curiosity Rover Discovery | Spacing Out

Curiosity’s still got it.

It’s been over a decade since NASA’s Mars Curiosity Rover first touched down on the Red Planet, but it continues to make amazing new discoveries. Curiosity’s latest? A set of rippled rocks in the foothills of a Martian mountain, formed when waves stirred up sediment on the bottom of an ancient lake. This is some of the strongest evidence of water on Mars that Curiosity has ever seen.

This thing is still running 10 years later, and my iPhone's battery can't last a full day. 🧐

The mars rover is living my childhood dream. Just roaming around vast unexplored territory and picking up rocks

[anthonygiambattista]

If there's nothing with feet on Mars, are they REALLY foot hills?

[hecking_poptart_olivon_korra]

Rest in peace oppy. The rover died because it was caught in a dust storm and the solar panels got to dusty.

Have always thought they should send up twin rovers so they can help one another, such as brushing dust off the other's solar panel, or pulling one out of a hole, etc.

Be cool when it discovers a fossil.

The water is still there but deep underground

[mimicAuto]

Sand dunes also have ripples... Caused by wind.

The scariest thing about Mars - Earth will look like Mars when all water and greenery will disappear one day😮 Save water Save earth

[seanglynn]

Does that mean that fine grain soft sand solidified into stone & has been that way for hundreds/thousands/millions of years???

[nicfisher]

Narrator: this is the Best evidence for water on Mars?

Polar ice caps have left the chat.

[gazzas]

It's because the Martians are doing the maintenance on it when NASA is not watching

[Allen-tmxn]

The best evidence, find rocks that are smooth and round like finding a creek bed. 👌

[farmerab]

Shout out to NASA engineering! Them guys are top notch.

[davidredfern]

It's fantastic that curiosity is still going strong. Ten years, , that's so cool

[intelle]

The curiosity of mars rover did not kill it. Rather is keeps it going.

[DanielKolbin]

Humans finding water on other planets and moons is like USA finding oil in other countries. Epi-

[lustmatt]

does anyone know if that brightness is amplified? i didnt know it was that bright on Mars.

[jaymartin]

Are you sure it was water? There's a lot of methane on Mars.

[heretoserve]

You would think sheer loneliness and isolation would have killed it by now😢
