New Study Shows Definitive Shorelines on Mars

A team of scientists at CU-Boulder has found the first "definitive" evidence that there are shorelines on Mars indicating that there was once a deep ocean or lake on the surface. A statement released by CU-Boulder says the lake was approximately 80 miles long and 1,500 feet deep. This is of significant importance because on Earth, lakes empty out into deltas where organic material and life is deposited. This discovery opens the doors for NASA and the possibility of life on Mars.
