Europejski Mars Express odkrył właśnie możliwe miejsca powstania życia
na Marsie w 3-ch możliwych epokach geologicznego rozwoju
tej planety
"Thanks to its mapping of the Martian surface, the OMEGA instrument on board
ESA's Mars Express has identified clay beds which may have supported the
development of life in the past, between 4.5 and 4.2 thousand millions years
ago. So, these findings provide exciting sites for future Mars rovers to
explore. "

"This image shows the global distribution of hydrated (water-rich) minerals
as discovered by the OMEGA instrument on board ESA’s Mars Express. The map is
superimposed on an altitude reference map of Mars built with data from the
MOLA instrument on board NASA's Mars Global Surveyor. The red marks indicate
the presence of phyllosilicates, the blue ones indicate sulfates, the yellow
ones indicate other hydrated minerals. "
