NASA's Curiosity rover has discovered something exciting that could act as a water source for astronauts on Mars.
, scientists weren’t sure what to make of them. Now, though, they believe those halos could be opal deposits.This isn’t the first time that opal-like deposits have been discovered on the Red Planet, either. Previously,detected large and pale patches of ground in several areas of the Martian world. Even back in 2008, these deposits were believed to be silica. The presence of more deposits, though, could mean a water source for astronauts on Mars.
It also means that water was present on the surface of Mars much more recently than previously believed, as water is a primary component used in the development of opal deposits. Because these deposits are so widespread, they believe they could be a valuable water source for human visitors, with some veins containing several gallons of water, depending on their size.
