Evidence Found for Ancient Mars Lake

Evidence Found for Ancient Mars Lake - Yahoo! News

The scientists see signs of "a deep, ancient lake," which would have implications for the potential for past life on Mars. Life as we know it requires water, and while Mars is dry now, if there was abundant water in the past -- as many studies have suggested -- then life would have been a possibility. There is, however, no firm evidence that life does or ever did exist on the red planet.


Researchers estimate the lake existed more than 3 billion years ago. It covered as much as 80 square miles and was up to 1,500 feet deep -- roughly the equivalent of Lake Champlain bordering the United States and Canada, said Gaetano Di Achille, who led the study out of the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Sorry about all the links. Copied from yahoo. I figured some of you may be interested in this as I am.

Whether it's really a face or not, you know that's where the Decepticons have their secret base...

This one kind of bugs me. It's hard to believe the proportions are that good by accident.
Looks like something very old that has been eroded by time.

That's what I'm thinking. My question is why the mars rover didn't land near it...

I'll believe there was a lake on Mars when they find beer cans at the bottom of it.

I'm pretty sure they didn't have Martian Genuine Draft or Marsweiser a couple billion years ago....

And I say to you, good sir, prove it!

But do you think they had Mars-shine?

Why here, step into my time machine!

(been waiting to use that! )

But do you think they had Mars-shine?

I bet that would be some good
