NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has photographed clear signs of ripples locked into a Martian rock, a sign of an ancient lake on the Red Planet's surface.
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has photographed rocks imprinted with tiny ripples from an ancient lake. And these tiny ripples are making waves on Earth, as they are the clearest evidence yet that water once existed on the Red Planet.
"This is the best evidence of water and waves that we've seen in the entire mission," Ashwin Vasavada , Curiosity’s project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, said in a statement ."We climbed through thousands of feet of lake deposits and never saw evidence like this – and now we found it in a place we expected to be dry."
