Water on Mars turns out to be mud, scientists reveal secret of radar signals

To prove the new theory researchers needed the freezing environment like that on the south polar cap of Mars Smith immersed smectite samples from the earth in liquid nitrogen to freeze them to -58 degrees Fahrenheit

Mars absorbed water on its surface like a sponge: Study

Previous research has suggested that the majority of the water was lost to space as a result of the collapse of the planet’s magnetic field, when it was either swept away by high intensity solar winds or locked up as sub-surface ice. However, these theories do not explain where all of the water has gone.

Lakes, snowmelt-fed streams on Mars formed much later than previously thought

NASA says these results provide insight into the climate history of the Red Planet and suggest the surface conditions at this later time may also have been suitable for microbial life.
