FfFfFfFF 58,133 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 In 2018, scientists announced the discovery of the larger subglacial lake, presumed to be a body of salt water some 12 miles across. Now, additional observations from the same team have identified at least three more watery patches, smaller than the first, in the same region. “The system was probably existing a long time ago, when the planet was very different, and this is maybe the remnant of that,” Pettinelli says. Data collected from 2012 to 2015 originally indicated that a large, salty lake might be buried beneath a region called Ultimi Scopuli. On Mars, the salts are as alien as the planet—instead of being familiar sodium chloride, they’re toxic perchlorates, derived from the planet’s ruddy surface. Based on 29 observations, the team determined that the lake measured roughly 12 miles across. Now, 105 additional observations, collected between 2015 and 2019 and covering a larger area, have reinforced the original detection. While the team is confident that the larger reservoir is salt water, Pettinelli says those smaller patches could easily be soggy sediments.
