Tähdet ja avaruus: Järisyttävä tulos – luotainhavainto viittaa valtavaan sulan veden määrään Marsin pinnan alla
Tutkijat arvioivat, että Marsin kuoren keskiosissa noin 11,5–20 kilometrin syvyydessä voisi olla nestemäistä vettä noin 10 kilometrin paksuisessa kerroksessa. Määrä vastaisi 1–2 kilometrin vesikerrosta pinnalla. Tutkimus vaatii lisätodisteita ennen kuin sitä voidaan pitää luotettavana.

New study puts a definitive age on Saturn’s rings: They’re really young
