Astronomers release photo of “snow lake” on Mars
The Mars Express probe celebrated 15 years of service in Mars orbit, sending back detailed and beautiful images of the Korolev crater, which contains huge amounts of frozen water.
This device, according to scientists, plays a leading role in the study of the main mystery of Mars - the secret of the disappearance of huge amounts of water.
In fact, scientists today believe that on its surface in ancient times there were rivers, lakes and even oceans of water, containing almost as much liquid as our Arctic Ocean.
Most of this water later evaporated into space along with the red planet's atmosphere. Only a small portion of it survives as polar ice caps and vast underground ice deposits in temperate and near-polar latitudes, recently discovered by the MRO and Mars Express probes.
The stored moisture periodically melts and evaporates, then condenses in other, colder corners of Mars. Scientists have long been interested in this peculiar “water cycle,” as it could contribute to moisture “escape” from the planet, or be a key source of life for hypothetical Martian microbes deep underground.
