More Water Than We Thought On Mars
Scientists from a joint NASA Italian Space Agency say that there could be more water on Mars then previously thought. Jeffrey Plaut says that, “We could estimate the amount of water on Mars before, but not with confidence.” He goes on saying that with calculations by the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding, (MARSIS) there could be enough ice to cover Mars with a layer of water 11 meters/36 feet deep.
I remember reading when they first discovered that there was evidence of water on Mars (a few months ago)… and now they’re saying that there is enough water on Mars to cover it’s self 36 feet deep. Although I do see how this is possible, if there is that much, would it be a little more obvious?
