"Researchers say discovery of stains from summertime flows down cliffs and crater walls increases chance of finding life on red planet"

Liquid water runs down canyons and crater walls over the summer months on Mars, according to researchers who say the discovery raises the chances of being home to some form of life.

The trickles leave long, dark stains on the Martian terrain that can reach hundreds of metres downhill in the warmer months, before they dry up in the autumn as surface temperatures drop.

Images taken from the Mars orbit show cliffs, and the steep walls of valleys and craters, streaked with summertime flows that in the most active spots combine to form intricate fan-like patterns.

Scientists are unsure where the water comes from, but it may rise up from underground ice or salty aquifers, or condense out of the thin Martian atmosphere.

“There is liquid water today on the surface of Mars,” Michael Meyer, the lead scientist on Nasa’s Mars exploration programme, told the Guardian. “Because of this, we suspect that it is at least possible to have a habitable environment today.”

“Mars is not the dry, arid planet that we thought of in the past,” said Nasa’s Jim Green. “Liquid water has been found on Mars.”

OT: Suprised by this, hopefully NASA can send some people to Mars sometime.

Very good. Hopefully we can get to mars at some point. The discovery of life outside Earth would be huge, maybe century defining.

A little thought, I do think, if not mars, it's highly probable that there is life elsewhere in the universe.

Century defining? It will quite literally be one of the top 5 largest discoveries to date.

No doubt there's already whole another life elsewhere, we're just one of million other places where life exists.

Except the rover isnt allowed to get anywhere close to the water AT ALL. This is because the reaserhcers dont want to contaminate the water with earthly bacteria, something the rover may or may not have on itself.
