APL Instrument Shows Mars Gullies Likely Not Formed By Liquid Water
New findings using data from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) show that gullies on modern Mars are most likely not being formed by flowing liquid water. This new evidence will allow researchers to further narrow theories as to the mechanisms behind the formation of gullies on Mars, and help reveal more details about Mars’ recent geologic processes.
