Salt Water Found on Mars

Researchers have found salt water on Mars! After years of intense dedication to discovering and searching the allegedly bone-dry planet, data was recovered reporting that there are tiny salt water puddles in the surface of Mars. Experts analyzed the planet's thin atmosphere and detected that Martian soil could pull water vapor from the air into the soil during night, which keeps it from freezing despite the extreme cold temperatures. The Gale Crater has been monitoring for an entire year the climate and humidity in Mars, and this theory is well supported. There are theories of how Mars once had a sea as big as the Atlantic Ocean, and there is still evidence from researchers that there is in fact ancient stream-beds and lakes found in the surface of the planet.
