Last August, NASA’s HiRISE orbiter spotted strange streaks on the Martian surface that most likely were the result of flowing water on the planet’s surface. Now, eight months later, scientists still haven’t come up with any better explanations.
That’s important because of the old scientific maxim that “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” The existence of water flowing on Mars is just about as extraordinary a claim as one could make about the Red Planet – only proof of life on Mars would be a significantly bigger deal. And while we probably can’t consider this 100% confirmed until we get a lander down on the planet to check out just what’s causing the streaks in these craters, we can still examine all other competing explanations to see if any of those work better.
