Planetary science: Clays in the history of Mars
Horton Newsom1
Abstract
The stream of revelations from Mars continues. The latest news — the discovery of clays in ancient terrains — helps to fill in the picture of the past existence of liquid water on the planet's surface.
Thanks to three orbiting spacecraft and two rovers that continue to return data, we now have a great deal of evidence that abundant surface water once existed on Mars. But until now something has been missing.
