Water on Mars

According to this article there could be water on Mars.. You know what that means, life on different planets? maybe.

"New photographs from space suggest that water occasionally flows on the frigid surface of Mars, raising the tantalizing possibility that the red planet is hospitable to life, scientists reported Wednesday." The images were taken by NASA global mars surveyor. Although there is not signs of flowing water, this is still a big step. The scienctists who study mars believe that this is a big step that plays into if there is life on other planets.

It is believed that Mars used to be full of water puddles back in the old days. They believe this because there were thousands of gullies photographed that were believed to be created by rushing water, and the gullies are young in geologic time.

"The news excited scientists who hunt for extraterrestrial life. If the finding is confirmed, they say, all the ingredients favorable for life on Mars are in place: liquid water and a stable heat source."
