The amount of water is comparable to 150 Bohai Seas, which can cover Mars at a depth of 2 meters! ESA has discovered a huge amount of water resources on Mars
According to the latest research results released by the European Space Agency, the water resources under Mars are abundant, and the amount of water is even comparable to the Red Sea on Earth. This aquifer, named the "Medusa Nest Formation", is located in the equatorial region of Mars, and there are large amounts of icy water deposits beneath it.
Researchers estimate that if these groundwater resources are covered to the surface of Mars, the water depth can reach 1.5~2.7 meters. This number is quite staggering, equivalent to the volume of water in 150 Bohai Seas. This means that the icy water deposits in the equatorial region of Mars will greatly facilitate human exploration of Mars, making it easier to establish a base on Mars, conduct scientific research, and conduct future human settlements.
The results of this study also support the hypothesis that there were glaciers, lakes and river channels on Mars. Previous studies have revealed some of the characteristics of an arid desert on the surface of Mars, but these new findings provide more evidence that Mars once had water resources in the past.
It is worth noting that the temperature in the equatorial region of Mars is relatively high, which is very favorable for future human migration and development. Because of the existence of water resources, Mars will be a promising place for human migration and exploration.
In conclusion, the findings of the European Space Agency show that there is a huge amount of water under Mars. This discovery is not only of great significance for scientific research, but also provides valuable resource support for mankind to establish a base on Mars and explore outer space in the future. We can expect that in the near future, humanity will be able to understand Mars more deeply and realize the dream of human migration and development.
