Scientists announced on Thursday that they saw dark, finger-like features appearing and extending down some Martian slopes during late spring through summer, which fade in the winter and return during next spring.
Scientists have discovered a new phenomenon on the surface of Mars which can potentially prove that seasonal water, and therefore life, could exist in the Red Planet. This new finding can help scientists big time in their search for life on Mars.
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have taken high-resolution photographs of possible flowing water during the warmest months on Mars, when dark, finger-like lines are seen on some Martian slopes. In the middle latitudes of the Planet's southern hemisphere.
The recent discovery of possible salt water on mars could lead to extraterrestrial life on Mars. NASA's Reconnaissance Orbiter release photos of possible flowing water extending onto a rocky slope. The images show dark colored slim streaks flowing down from slopes and crevices. Brown streaks appear and disappear throughout Mars' winter spring and summer seasons. Briny water has been speculated to be flowing during those seasons.
NASA announced Thursday that they've potentially discovered liquid water on the surface of Mars. Researchers are studying satellite images that appear to have the consistency of salty brine water.
NASA scientists have discovered fresh evidence that water is flowing on Mars during its warmest months, raising the likelihood that life could exist on the red planet, the agency said on Thursday.
NASA's possible water discovery could mean there is life on the red planet. However, one prominent scientist disputes that notion.
Mysterious dark lines discovered on Mars by a search algorithm shows indications of flowing water on the surface today. NASA officials also raised the possibility of how life such as micro-organisms could possibly survive in such an environment.
The images of the findings show flows lengthen and darken on rocky equator-facing slopes from late spring to early fall, and the seasonality, latitude distribution and brightness changes suggest a volatile material is involved, but there is no direct detection of one, NASA said.
The latest findings suggest signs of water in lower latitudes of Mars. Previously, it was known that water (in the form of ice) existed at the poles of the planet.
At one Martian crater, McEwen said, about a thousand ?water flows? were identified.

A joy ride turned deadly in the Russian capital late on Saturday night
Planetary scientists examined information from European Space Agency's (ESA) Herschel space observatory and determined that Enceladus, the sixth largest moon of Saturn, is raining water vapors that form a huge donut-shaped ring around Saturn.
"There is no analogy to this behavior on Earth," said Paul Hartogh of Max-Planck-Institut für Sonnensystemforschung, the scientist who led the analysis that yielded the odd results.
For more than a decade scientists have pondered about Saturn's water source in the upper atmosphere, which they have found comes from the icy moon Enceladus.
ESA's Herschel space observatory has found that that the water given off from the moon Enceladus created a giant torus of water vapor around the planet. This latest discovery means that Enceladus is the only moon in the Solar System that is known to effect the chemical composition of Saturn, its parent planet.
