Water 'found on Mars' 火星上“發現”有水

The brine seepage is believed to be in Candor Chasm

咸水滲出物應該是在Candor Chasm

There is currently water on the surface of Mars, Nasa scientists believe.

The evidence is contained in pictures taken by the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft, which is in orbit around the Red Planet.

The images show what appears to be brackish water seeping from beneath the Martian surface.

The discovery, if confirmed, will mark a turning point in our exploration of the Red Planet, with future missions to Mars being directed to the locations of seepage.

美國國家航空和宇宙航行局的科學家們相信，目前在火星表面有水。

正圍繞著這顆紅色的行星運轉的火星球面勘測儀所拍攝的照片，包含有火星上有水的證據。

圖片顯示有咸水樣的東西從火星地表下面滲出來。

這一發現如果被證實，將標志著我們探測這一紅色行星的一個轉折點，將來登陸火星的任務將是尋找這些滲出物的位置。
