The ship "Curiosity" NASA has discovered that Mars has salt water under its surface.
Mars is considered a planet hostile to life.
However, new measurements of Mount Gale crater provide data from various existing theories, according to which the planet is too cold for the presence of water.
The ship "Curiosity", which is currently located at Mount Sharp, in the center of Gale crater discovered that Mars has water under the surface, reports "The Guardian".
Until now scientists had believed that the Red Planet conditions were too cold for the existence of water, although some ice deposits.
"The data show that water can be in the form of permafrostit. It is the first time that we find water here, "said Professor Andrew Coates from" Mullard Space ".
Finding Keij suggests that planet earth is salt water, due to the presence of salt, which significantly lowers the freezing point of water.
When mixed with calcium perchlorate, water can exist in this form even under temperature -70 degrees and wiping salt water vapor from the atmosphere.
During winter nights, until the peak of sunlight, temperature and humidity levels are appropriate for the formation of salty water.
