TL;DR Summary
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has captured an image showing evidence of ancient rivers on Mars, indicating that the planet once teemed with water billions of years ago. The snapshot reveals ridges in Aeolis Planum, showcasing the meandering forms of dried-up rivers and the geological phenomenon of inverted channels. While Mars is now an intensely dry, desert world, NASA's Perseverance rover is currently searching for potential signs of past primitive life on the Red Planet, and the space agency is investigating the potential for a compact Mars plane to further explore the Martian surface.
