Curiosity rover finds ancient Mars lakebed with strong potential for harboring ancient life

2014-12-09 14:47:55| Extremetech

NASA's Curiosity rover has found the strongest signs yet that the surface of Mars, roughly 4 billion years ago, had conditions that would've been almost ideal for the genesis of life. NASA says that Curiosity has found evidence to suggest that Gale Crater was once filled with lakes, rivers, and deltas that contained water for tens of millions of years -- long enough that some small organisms could have emerged.
