Craig Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 This is not new news: ? Being serious, it is an amazing discovery though. While not definitive evidence of life on Mars, the prospects just increased dramatically. Tweedledee and Brantuk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Yes, this news has been a few years in the making, but they now seem pretty sure that this is actually what they've been detecting. We now want to know if anything is swimming in this water. Apparently there are similar salty underground pools at subzero temperatures in Antarctica that are teeming with terrestrial life. I think it is very exciting stuff. ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually only intending a bit of satire for the image, but it is a truly remarkable find. Tweedledee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the french discovered and photographed it first then - BARRE D'ENERGIE. ? It certainly gives us much more hope for the really big announcement of life on Mars. That would really make the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithysteve Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) I agree Pete it is exciting amazing stuff! This lake is quite deep below the surface.. it will be a huge challenge to check it out. Maybe there are other easier targets in the polar regions... i hope they crack on and investigate soon as possible...! i just had a wander outside and had a lingering naked eye look at our close neighbor, it is shining brightly, is very red and looks tantalisingly close...

Tweedledee Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 The other thing about this discovery is, that if the water can be reached, it would help sustain humans there, could be converted to oxygen and even hydrogen fuel. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 So how does liquid water happen on Mars with reduced atmospheric pressure so it must be fairy soupy stuff - or is my chemology that addled after all these years ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I have now read it fully and yep they say it would be "pretty briney"and subsurface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Watson Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 The picture above reminds me of the Turnip Award winners... https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/somerset-news/turnip-prize-2017-entries-spoof-829222 Artwork that has had no discernible effort spent upon it.
