Scientists Search for Flowing Water on Mars!

"Thanks to a flotilla of Mars orbiters, there's been a steady flow of
information streaming in from that puzzling world. Scientists are
piecing together a far more coherent view of "real time" versus
"geological time" in dealing with the whole of Mars today.


One of the more perplexing finds on Mars are features that look like
the product of groundwater seeping to the surface. These gullies could
be formed by flowing water-perhaps fed by a groundwater supply.
Deposits of soil and rocks transported by these flows have been found
too.


More importantly, gully features appear to be young. So young, in fact,
they might be forming today. Clearly, gullies may well be areas of
astrobiologial interest-a niche for life that could be present and
accounted for on Mars."
