New information has appeared in foreign media regarding the existence of life on Mars. As noted in the scientific publication Planetary and Space Science, planetary scientists from the United States, after discovering this data on the Red Planet, published photographs of the surface of Mars, where there was probably an inhabited lake.

Scientists from the Tucson Planetary Institute in a recent study discovered a dried-up lake on the surface of Mars, where life existed more than three million years ago. According to the head of this study, Alexis Rodriguez, this lake is located in the area of a complex of canyons, which reaches 1.2 thousand kilometers in length. If you "come closer" to this lake, then its location falls just on the "labyrinth of Night".

Thanks to subsurface sources, according to the American planetary scientist, this lake was filled. The study also notes that at one time Mars had more favorable conditions for life than now. The air temperature, which was on the Red Planet three million years ago, supported life in this lake.

As part of his research, Alexis Rodriguez next year will go to the highlands of Tibet, where, in cooperation with the Chinese government, an astrobiologist from the United States intends to study the origin and features of high mountain lakes. According to Rodriguez, the conditions in which the lakes located high in the mountains in China are located are very similar to those on Mars.
