NASA’s Curiosity Rover Finds Old Streambed on Mars

NASA’s newest Mars rover has found evidence that a stream once ran vigorously across the area on the Red Planet where the rover is now driving. The finding is a different type of evidence for water on Mars than ever found before. Scientists are studying Curiosity’s images of rocks containing ancient streambed gravels. The sizes and shapes of stones cemented into a layer of conglomerate rock are clues to the speed and distance of a long-ago stream’s flow.

Really? Is this conjecture or scientific fact? Exactly how does water get “sucked up” into space? Are you saying “space” has greater mass than Mars? Exactly what is the physical mechanism by which H2O was “lost”?
We know that escape is occurring today from the martian atmosphere and that it has occurred in the past The current loss rate of martian atmosphere is estimated to be around 100 tons per day,
but this is based on incomplete data. NASA has amission called MAVEN that plans to fly to Mars in 2013 to measure all aspects of atmospheric escape.
MAVEN – which stands for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN – will not only provide a better handle on the current loss, but it will also provide a window on the past, by determining how the upper atmosphere controls the loss rate.
electrons and protons are water, and any temperature increase in anything is due to these electrons speeding up moving faster.
Mars had water for about a billion years, its is possible life evolved here. Mars has a cold core, thus no magnetic field meaning solar wind fucks the surface up. So it is heavily radiated up to a few meters into the ground. (killing all life) Titian and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn is where we will find life, mark my words.
the big news is near i can feel it ! =)
Good job the phone engineer wasn’t trusted with something important. Like the rockets.
Who’s ready to go to Mars and find out?
They can actually measure the rate of decreasing atmosphere. Mars Has a COLD core meaning it can no longer support life. It’s just to dam cold and radioactive because of the sun. I do believe there is life but we are more likely to find it in the moons of Jupiter. We might find old ass fossils on mars. It was warm and had liquid for nearly 1 billion years then the planet shat its self. CAUSE Its so small!!
Every planet had a molten iron core, that’s how you get a magnetic field which stops charged particles from the sun.
It is believed widely that core cooled down, stopping the process; destroying the atmosphere. We are with in the Goldie locks zone meaning the distance from the sun is just right for liquid water. Mars is to cold, unless we where to green house effect the planet, heating the surface up. Its not the size of the planet, but rather the mechanic as a result of its size.
Science is not a personal opinion, we base our opinions on factual data rather than guess work.
Well i kind of do and don’t lol. So just to make sure we are on the same page. Your talking about parts of string theory and quantum physics. There is supposed to be an alternate dimension for every speck of sand on a beach for every fork in the road etc. What you are referring to; for example gravity is a tail end effect due to its origins in other dimension. All heavy shit.
It’s not my theory or “guess work” as you put it; it’s over 60 years of scientific data from Eisenstein to Steven Hawkins. Can you give me any proof other that staring at pictures of mars and pointing out shapes. If you go on google earth and look at a mountains range you could do the same. You want it to be true but the sad fact is we will not find complex life on mars alive today.
Yeah deep below the surface where there is no radiation from the sun. There might be. There could even be fossils if complex life ever did evolve. Its water came from the same place our water did so there is no reason why it could not have happened.
Is it not possible that the face is just a trick of light? There are no cities on mars, i don’t know why you would think that there are. Is it not possible that an under funded team is working to find out the truth for all of us? It would be great if there was cities and old civilizations on mars, but i highly doubt.
Out there in space! Now that’s when you can start talking about aliens and cities underwater life forums as smart as us etc etc. Have you looked into EXO planets??
Well it is funny at least.
There are lots of faces on Mars. Some do take a leap of imagination to determine them but some do not. I have just uploaded a video of what I believe to be the most perfect face we have seen so far (in my opinion) and when you see how I found it it is totally unambiguous. All the best to you.
Boys are given toys like erector sets, tinker toys, and lego.
Girls are given fake babies and fake kitchens.
maybe i lived on mars in my previous life
God is are creater
I read the title as:
NASA’s Curiosity Rover Finds Old Steamboat on Mars.
I am disappointed.
Hahaha NASA invest in the telephony system we have here on earth. Where is this sound stage exactly?
Trolollol
Is the atmosphere of Mars entirely ionized?
Awesome work NASA, keep it up, there are those of us that are very grateful for your work and the discoveries you are making 😉
is it just me, or do all of these people look like they are highly disturbed as if they are doing this at gunpoint or something??? very very odd, I’m no psychologist but they are showing obvious signals of distress, right in the beginning when that lady smiles, right after the face she makes is soooo strange!!!
They’re scientists. They’re a little odd.
See what I have found in the pictures on my channel
The BS must go on
I have an old Polaroid camera you’s can have for free.
I was feeling pretty proud of the human race until I looked at the comments section.
theses are very old rocks well arent rocks as old as the planet.?
a question comes to mind, if there is water on mars water life giving properties tell us now that you have descoverd water is it time to colonize the planet not look at rocks.
if this is true the goverment of usa must be pissed off that you let us know that there is water on mars
Hard to believe it’s been 5,5 years already.
It is rumored that there is a strong presence of methane in the martian atmosphere, since there are organic molecules there, is there the possibility that aome form of life is actually producing it??
Gee, millions spent to find dirt. We knew from earlier missions about stream beds and geology. How stable is the area? Is the sand and gravel suitable for habitat construction? Did you drill to investigate subsurface water? If there is can it be separated and process oxygen and hydrogen? Is this media suitable for some sort of vegetation growth?
