The search for water on Mars

...determine the relative timing of events in Mars’ history. On Earth, some ancient craters show evidence that the energy generated on impact resulted in the heating of groundwater, generating hydrothermal systems that could have been habitable places where life may flourish. These features can all be identified from images taken of the martian surface by orbiting...
