NASA photographs have revealed bright
new deposits seen in two gullies on Mars
that suggest water carried sediment through
them sometime during the past seven years.
"These observations give the strongest
evidence to date that water still flows occasionally
on the surface of Mars," said Michael Meyer, lead
scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program,
Washington.

Hi Darwin & welcome!
Nice Hi-res photo. But where is the water? I see the trace of a wheel but it leaves trace not only in mud but in dust also I belive. Next time put an arrow and some explanation under the picture!
Greetings,
Villa

That waas an image from the Rover Opportunity. The water on the Martian surface is fleeting. The surface material is sandy and pooling is temporary. If you look below the track you will see a surface feature that has fluvial patterns. Water on Mars comes from below.
I have no idea how to draw arrows and such.

Do you think there is life below the surface?

Open your pictures in Power Point or Photoshop or simply with Windows Paint, draw the arrows than save them as JPG and upload them to an image hoster. For example: www.imageshack.us

Villaman,
You have created a monster, thanks for the education.
Ok same image as above area A. This is the eruption site. How do I know it is the eruption site? I look at the change I characteristics of the surface material in conjunction with other areas like B.
B. This is a micro-gully. Similar to crater gullies just on a smaller scale. This just happens to extend from the eruption site.
C. Back was pattern from eruption site. The material that was in the hole had to go somewhere and here it is.

Hope this helps, Darwin

Chiao Darwin!
To present your pic here clilck the box Image below (right to the smileies) when you are in the process of submitting and copy paste your image-link in the appearing pop-up window like this:
Nice image, like wawes. So some wind disturbed the surface of the water before it frozen. Perhaps Mars is in the begining of creation and when the sun will be bigger or warmer Earth will become a desert planet and Mars will be the planet of life.
"The spirit of God walked upon the face of the water and God said: Let there be light!"
I can't reach your previous picture  however the explanation made me curious. Perhaps it would be better to resize the images to fit the screen.
Bye,
Villa

Hope for Water on Mars Dims with Sharp New Images
New images obtained by a sharp-eyed Martian satellite reveal that some Red Planet features once thought
to have been carved by flowing water were in fact created by other processes.
Images taken with MRO show many gullies on Mars taht include braided channels, terraces
and other features that are similar to water-carved features on Earth. Credit: Science
The images were taken during the first 100 days of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) mission
and are detailed in a special section of the Sept. 21 issue of the journal Science.
While the results don't confirm or deny the existence of liquid water on Mars' surface, they are no less fascinating,
say the scientists involved. For instance, one team found no evidence that flowing water caused bright deposits
on the planet. Instead, the scientists proposed dry landslides caused the deposits.
