Scientists have discovered liquid water under the polar ice cap on Mars.

"The proposed lake sits beneath ice near the south pole of Mars."

I've watched things on YouTube in the past which suggests Mars is a planet similar to the moon, it's supposedly in a phase whereby it's dying out. I've heard the same about the sun, so who knows what is true but it's cool that they keep discovering things.

Could this mean there might be some form of life on Mars? I always wonder why the missions to the Moon have stopped.

this is very cool that they discovered this, i always like to read about missions and see the pictures they take on planets. its pretty cool

If Alien's are  living there it would be cool but bad who knows.

There's a lot more out there to be discovered but the fact they believe water is on Mars, this makes a significant finding for future research. 

Big discovery if they can further uncover findings on Mars.

"It's probably not a very large lake," said Prof Roberto Orosei from the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics, who led the study.

Marsis wasn't able to determine how thick the layer of water might be, but the research team estimate that it is a minimum of one metre.

"This really qualifies this as a body of water. A lake, not some kind of meltwater filling some space between rock and ice, as happens in certain glaciers on Earth," Prof Orosei added.

Who cares about the size of the lake? It's interesting just to see that they suspect frozen water has been found.

All they need to do now is prove that the earth is flat for those that refuse to believe any of the findings like this.

Really fascinating discovery, I hope they continue probing to unearth more discoveries like this about the planet.

Maybe they'll discover life on Earth next? ????

Fascinating break through, it might seem small but it's big progress. NASA will be exploring further.

Pretty cool discovery I agree, if they can find more it would look promising.

Could Mars be like what might happen to Earth but in reverse to the rising water?

This is pretty uber, I wonder if they will do a space mission in the near future to try and see more about Mars? Get a probe to see if the area does have frozen water.

Let’s hope beer is next ????????
