Curiosity’s hard work is once again paying off by turning up evidence that liquid water quite likely exists on Mars at this time.  


A paper published in Nature Geoscience reveals that data collected at the Gale crater suggests the presence of condensation that appears at night and evaporates during the day. 


The soil’s composition is key in allowing for such promise as it shows high quantities of perchlorate salts, which would enable water to exist in a liquid form despite the Red Planet’s punishing, sub-zero temperatures.

Said the study’s lead author, "There have been hypot
