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. read full article at space.com -------------------- Frequently Asked Questions have already been Answered Image hosting: ImageShack and photobucket avatar legend Post Extras
