Shindig! There is evidence of water on Mars Found
Curiosity landed on August 6, 2012 in a giant plateau near the equator of Mars. The robot the size of a small car is targeted on a mission two years researching in the area called Gale Crater.
Scientists suspect mound called Mount Sharp was the remains of sediment that once filled the crater. Analysis of a rock fragment between the northern slopes of the crater at the base of Mount Sharp indicate a rapid stream of water had occurred there.
Pictures taken Curiosity and reported Thursday showed terpasak rounded pebbles on the rocks, which rises like the way that nailed on the planet's surface. Pebbles in the rocks that are too large to be moved by wind, Curiosity scientist Rebecca Williams said in a teleconference in Tucson, Arizona.
"Consensus team of scientists, this is the pebbles in a stream of water brought strong," he said.
These rocks are believed to be the basis of the flow in the ankle-deep past. This analysis was based telephoto taken explorer who travels in the area named Glenelg where there are three kinds of rocks meet.
Scientists have not yet decided researching chemical rocks or targeting further Curiosity seek life forms or minerals. "The issue of life through simple observation of water on Mars," said lead researcher John Grotzinger that of the California Institute of Technology.
"Certainly flowing water is a microorganism can live," he said. However this type of rock can not be concluded could be living beings can live environment.
