After much speculation, this morning NASA revealed their historic discovery. The big news revolves around compelling evidence that show that Earth's neighbor, a.k.a Mars, has salt water flowing among its surface.

This factor increases hopes of finding life (extinct or present) among the heavenly body, as well as the possibility of having a habitable environment for humans where they can obtain water as a natural resource.

It appears to be that this manifestation only appears on Mars surface when its above -23º C, which is only possible given that salt keeps water below its freezing point. The origin of this substance is still unknown, however, it's believed that it may come from underground ice, salty aquifers or the condensation of Mars thin atmosphere.
