Scientists know that Mars had water, the question is how . According to a Recent research , the red planet would have had an ocean that covered much of the surface, with a maximum depth of a km (similar to the Mediterranean Sea )

How could determine this ? The infrared maps, captured by telescopes , indicate that large amounts of deuterium, water molecules are found in the northern hemisphere of the country. This means that Mars lost lots of water.

It is estimated that the great ocean of Mars there does 4.5 billion years . The amount of water in that area was sufficient to cover the entire planet, but the ocean would have covered 19% of the Martian surface. In comparison the Atlantic, Earth, occupies only 17% .

“With Mars lost so much water, it is likely that the Planet was wet for a period of time than it was thought, suggesting it would have been living longer, “said Michael Mumma , co-author of the research.

Meanwhile, Geronimo Villanueva , lead researcher, says that “is fascinating that we can learn so much from 4.5 billion years ago with measurements taken now” . (Io9)
