Scientists from the US space agency NASA have made a new claim that ancient water is hidden beneath the surface of Mars. The NASA-funded study challenged the theory that all water on Mars flew into space. Scientists from the California Institute of Technology and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have published a study in the journal Science. In it, he claims that 30 to 99 percent of the water on Mars is in the minerals and its surface.
According to scientists, 400 million years ago, Mars had enough water that the entire planet, 100 to 1,500 meters deep, could have formed oceans. The planet’s magnetic field is exhausted. As a result, the planet’s atmosphere began to run out, and the planet’s water was depleted. Millions of years later, it is still dry. “There are some minerals on the surface of Mars that have water in their crystal structures,” said researcher Eva Scler. According to the model developed by the scorer, 30 to 99 percent of the water is contained in these minerals. Scientists have come to this conclusion after studying all the chemical structures of the state with vapor, liquid and ice.
Scientists claim this after studying data from orbiters and other satellites sent to Mars. “Some of Mars’ water may have run out or disappeared, but most of the water is still on the planet,” Sceller said. Scientists have come to this conclusion by focusing on hydrogen, the main body of water, using the planet’s meteorite.
Professor Bethany Alhaman, associate director of the Cake Institute for Space Studies, said changes in the environment or any kind of damage directly affect water. For the past few decades, the Mars mission has found that Mars has a large repository of ancient hydrated minerals whose structure is constantly changing as water is declining.
