Curiosity Rover Finds Evidence of Ancient Groundwater on Mars
NASA's Curiosity rover found unique "boxwork" patterns on Mars' Mount Sharp, formed by groundwater minerals hardening and eroding, providing evidence of underground water even as the Martian climate dried. The patterns, found in a region with magnesium sulfates and calcium sulfate veins, are located...
