Gullies on Mars

NASA APOD

COSMIC MESSAGE

Gullies on Mars, first seen in high-resolution images from the Mars Global Surveyor, suggest that liquid water flowed on the planet's surface in geologically recent times. These channels are similar to those formed by flowing water on Earth. This finding is significant for understanding Mars's past and potential for life.
