Science and Technology: Water on the Red Planet
The planet Mars holds an austere beauty in its barrenness. Its scars hint at a time when it could have harbored life when great rivers carved deep into its dusty surface. However, billions of years later it appears to be not much more than a massive red desert capped by two spans of ice. For 15 years scientists have been searching for liquid water at Mars’ poles, and finally, on July 25th, 2018, water was discovered.
