NASA'S curiosity rover detect ponds on the Mars previously dotting the Gale Carter on Mars as shared by the American Space Agency.
We know early water had been found by Chandryan on the Moon, bringing closer to the dream of coronation on the moon, NASA has shifted his planed to the red planet. Earlier on the Monday, NASA'S Mars rover "curiosity" had found trace of ponds previously dotting the Gale Carter on Mars, as shared by NASA. Curiosity which landed on the Mars in 2012 has been the 100 mile wide (150-km wide) ancient basin of Gale crater since then. NASA states his discovery indicates the planet's drying climate.
What has curiosity found on Mars?
As explained in the NASA press release, Scientists are trying to unearth what Mars looked like 3.5billion years ago. Curiosity latest discovery suggests might have laced the carter's walls, running toward its base, states NASA. Scientists have interpreted the rocks enriched in mineral salts discovered by the rover as evidence of shallow briny ponds may have existed on the Mars before dying up. The study which has been in nature Geoscience paper predicted the water ways overflowed and then driped up on Mars - a cycle that probably repeated itself numerous times over millions of years.
What is it's significance?
Scientists states that the long - lost presence of an oasis on the Mars, indicates climate fluctuations as the Martian environment transitioned from the wetter one to the freezing desert it is today. They state that curiosity is headed towards a region called the "sulphate - bearing units," which is expected to have form even drier environment. This will help scientists to understand how long this transition took and when exactly it occurred. These findings also find out the Earth and Mars were similar in early days.
What is it's future scope?
The team plans to drive more inclined layers in the distant sulphate - bearing units. In the coming years NASA states that it will investigate its many rock structures. If they formed in drier conditions that persisted for a period, that might mean that the clay-bearing unit represents an in-between stage-a gateway to a different era in a Gale carter's history, states NASA. The team is currently running studying its finding to unearth more detailed of the red planet.
