Underground Reservouir on Mars Could Fill Oceans on Planet's Surface, Study Reveals
Recent research based on data from NASA’s InSight mission has identified a substantial underground reservoir on Mars. This reservoir, located between 7 and 12 miles below the Martian surface, could hold enough water to cover the planet to a depth of 1 mile. The data, gathered by InSight’s seismometer between 2018 and 2022, suggests that water i...
