Mars Express Radar Yields Strong Evidence of Ocean That Once Covered Part of Red Planet

Feb. 7, 2013

 It is believed that a large ocean once covered with 2 large oceans. The evidence was sea floor like sediments, and ice. That was likely about 4 billion years ago. The oceans were likely not in existence long enough to support life. Scientists continue to look for older bodies of water and or life.

The conditions on mars must have been different to allow the existence of the 2 oceans, I wonder if it would be capable of supporting life. The possibility of life on mars is interesting. It is amazing the technology we have, we know some things that happened billions of years ago.
