Mars is a planet that does not go out of focus of science, researchers and scientists from NASA. And this is due to the mysteries that the reddish region hides and even controversies that have been discovered there. Baptized water wires " recurring slope lines," NASA said it had discovered liquid salt water on the slopes of some mountains on Mars. Second images of a spacecraft in orbit under the red planet, the MRO ( Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter ) , beds of about 100 meters long and less than 5 meters wide were found on the red planet . According to the head of the Mars exploration program at NASA , Michael Meyer , these lines " are dark bands that form in late spring , grow in summer and disappear in the fall ."
These lines were old friends of the American space agency, but were not confirmed because of the poor quality in the resolution of the images. As shown in the pictures in high resolution, stretch marks appear next to Hale crater slopes during the period of hot weather and if stretch , then immediately disappear during the colder seasons . In an interview with the journal Nature Geoscience , Lujendra Ojha , of the Georgia Institute of Technology , said "Whether there is liquid water on the Martian surface is central to understanding the water cycle and the potential for the existence of life on Mars "
NASA says the next step is to work in partnership with Russia and send another probe to investigate the interior of the red planet. The forecast is sending probe in 2016 and already in 2018 send another probe to analyze the organic matter. Two years later, a mission will be to collect samples of what is hidden beneath the surface and there is the possibility of sending astronauts to Mars.
