Curiosity Mars rover finds the 'best evidence' of ancient water in rippled rocks
Fox News
NASA's Curiosity rover has recently found rippled rock textures that suggest lakes existed in a region of ancient Mars. Scientists had expected the region to be drier.
However, when the rover arrived there last fall, the team was surprised to find the "clearest evidence yet of ancient water ripples that formed within lakes." Julia Musto is a reporter for Fox News and Fox Business Digital.
"This is the best evidence of water and waves that we’ve seen in the entire mission," Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity’s project scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said in a statement. "We climbed through thousands of feet of lake deposits and never saw evidence like this – and now we found it in a place we expected to be dry."
