Reservoir of liquid water found deep in Martian rocks
Scientists have discovered a reservoir of liquid water on Mars - deep in the rocky outer crust of the planet.
The findings come from a new analysis of data from Nasa’s Mars Insight Lander, which touched down on the planet back in 2018.
The lander carried a seismometer, which recorded four years’ of vibrations - Mars quakes - from deep inside the Red Planet.
Analysing those quakes - and exactly how the planet moves - revealed “seismic signals” of liquid water.
