Large Amount of Water Found Beneath Martian Surface
By Ashley Strickland, CNN Mars has its own version of the Grand Canyon, and scientists have learned this dramatic feature is home to “significant amounts of water” after a discovery made by an orbiter circling the red planet, according to the European Space Agency.
A huge new deposit of water has been discovered on Mars in a formation often called the Red Planet’s Grand Canyon. The Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) has detected an area about the size of the Netherlands where water could make up as much as 40 percent of the material near the surface.
The European Space Agency, and Roscosmos (Ross-cosmos) ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter has recently found proof of substantial amounts of water just beneath the surface of the Red Planet.
