The time lapse image above shows strange dark markings appearing to flow down the steep slopes of Newtons crater on the surface of Mars. Appearing at the beginning of the Martian Spring and fading as the temperature drops back towards winter, these images may be evidence of the presence of liquid water according to a theory put forward by NASA. Whilst the exact cause is still inconclusive, it seems that we are moving towards answering the age old scientific question: Is there water on Mars? And if this is found to be the case: Is it possible that some form of life exists below its surface?
