Explanation:
Can you help discover water on Mars?
Finding water on different regions on Mars has implications for
understanding its
complex geologic history, the
possible existence of past life and the sustenance of
potential future astronauts.
Many space missions have taken photographs of the surface of the red planet,
and some of them might show a subtle clue pointing to
water
on
Mars that has been missed.
By close inspection of images, following
curiosity, applying scientific principles,
applying knowledge about features on the Martian surface,
and applying principles of
planetary geology, such clues might be brought to light.
In the meantime, happy
April Fool's Day from the
folks at
APOD!
