Clues to life on Mars: Indian researchers discover Martian lake that may have once sustained life

Researchers discovered that chloride-rich depressions in Mars' Terra Sirenum region likely harbored water, creating potential conditions favorable for ancient microbial life. Sedimentary studies suggest the area experienced wetting and drying cycles, essential for life. This finding underscores the importance of these regions for future Mars missions aiming to explore past life signs and Mars' wet history.
