Space scientists have, for the first time, discovered a lake of liquid water on Mars, raising hopes of martian life.
NASA announced last night that liquid water is still flowing on Mars. The “major science finding” promised by the space agency turned out to be confirmation that salty water is thought to have been detected running down slopes on the Red Planet.
NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has discovered fresh evidence that a crater near the Moon’s south pole is packed with frozen water.
The Hubble space telescope has found one of the steamier planets in the Universe – a water world that is a big ball of vapour.
A space probe has found powerful new evidence for an ancient ocean that once covered part of Mars.
Hubble observations suggest that a ‘super-Earth’-sized planet lying 40 light years away could have large amounts of water.
A NASA spacecraft orbiting Mars has discovered evidence of liquid water flowing through it soil, raising new hopes for martian life.
Space scientists have found evidence of liquid water on Mars caused by an asteroid impact in rare martian meteorites that crashed to Earth.
New research reveals that, far from being dry as long thought, the Moon has a type of water locked inside its rocks. This could be released for drinking and to make fuel, making manned colonies a far more viable proposition.
Planet-mappers have uncovered powerful new evidence that Mars was once covered with seas and lakes of water.
NASA scientists have found more vast deposits of water around the Moon’s north pole.
