Another planet to inhabit? NASA finds signs of flowing water on Mars!

Have humans really found the planet we all ought to run to after killing Earth? Sorry, as morbid as that sounds, NASA has indeed confirmed evidence to there being liquid water on the almost perfect future destination planet for us -- Mars.

According to NASA scientists hard at work, there are solid signs of liquid water flowing down canyons and crater walls during summer months on the red planet. This, of course, could be the discovery of the century if it leads humanity to the chance of existing life on the planet.

There are long dark depressions that look like straight lines on the terrain of Mars that resemble the marks left by flowing water on the surface of Earth. "Scientists are unsure where the water comes from, but it may rise up from underground ice or salty aquifers, or condense out of the thin Martian atmosphere," The Guardian reports.

A billion years ago Marvin's home was possibly filled with rives and lakes, but the hope of some amount of liquid water still surviving on the planet is almost humbling. So far, scientists had found signs of water, frozen in the polar ice caps. But this bit of news could mean a different future for us Earthlings.
