Evidence suggests Mars once had rivers and vast oceans, but the water disappeared about 3B years ago when the planet lost its atmosphere. Some of it froze into ice, but scientists have long sought to learn where the remainder went. New data indicate that water filtered into the crust rather than escaping into space.According to a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Monday, data based on NASA's InSight lander, have revealed a massive reserve of liquid water under the planet's surface, indicating favorable conditions for possible microbiological life.
