MORE ICE ON MARS!!!!!!!
A group of researchers using NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter discovered huge glaciers close to the equator. The rovers in space don't have to land at the poles to study Mars' ice, they can use the glaciers. Astronauts would be able to use the glaciers as a drinking source and as a source to make hydrogen fuel. Scientists believe the glaciers formed a long time ago when Mars tilted on its axis because it was a shocker to find them so close to the equator. The slopes were thought to be only rock, but when the radio waves passed through the debris on top and reflected from an inner/deeper surface.The waves didn't lose much strength, and this was the expected signal for thick ice and a layer of debris.
That is amazing. I always thought that mars was a super hot planet. Maybe people can live there now since there are water sources.
