This is the first evidence that proves the existence of a water cycle on Mars, “said Enrico Flamini, scientific coordinator of the Italian Space Agency (ASI). To provide it is the group of the Georgia Institute of Technology led by Lujendra Ojha. This is certainly not the water channels in 800 assumed by Giovanni Schiaparelli, but ‘streams’ seasonal with traces of salts that form only in the presence of water. More details will be revealed by NASA to 17.30. The American space agency has called a press conference in which will be unveiled at the James Webb Auditorium in Washington. The event will be broadcast live on NASA Television and the agency’s website.
To take part there will be stars of the first magnitude as Jim Green, director of NASA’s Planetary Science; Michael Meyer, lead scientist for the Mars Exploration Program; Lujendra Ojha at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta; Mary Beth Wilhelm dell’Ames Research Center of NASA in Moffett Field, California, and Georgia Institute of Technology eAlfred McEwen, principal investigator for the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
Lujendra Ojha, one of the leading experts who will attend the press conference, in 2011, when he was only 21 years old, he left astonished the whole planet after revealing images of craters on Mars that “they could show proof that salt water liquid flowed on Mars during its warmest months. ” The study was then published in the prestigious journal Science. The article was written in collaboration with Alfred McEwen. The minds of many now flies because Ojha said that if there was indeed water on Mars, there could also be some form of life.
