Life on Mars? Red planet’s ‘RAGING rivers’ filled with water RECENTLY in alien life boost

To understand how Martian rivers even existed, scientists analysed satellite photographs of more than 200 ancient Martian riverbeds.

The researchers then calculated the amount of water running through them using multiple methods, including measuring the size of the Martian river channels.

And scientists discovered there was intense run-off in these channels approximately one billion years-ago.

In total, three to 20 kilograms of water flowed through per squared metre daily, making the rivers larger than anything found on Earth.
