The Mars Express has explored huge swaths of Mars over the last two decades. While Lake Eridania is the largest dried water source it has explored, it has charted ancient riverbeds before, providing insight into what the waterways were once like. It has also explored other volcanic remnants including volcanos and lava pits.
With so much talk about colonizing Mars, it’s important to understand the planet first, and exploring sites like the ancient lake could provide critical information about what happened to the planet’s water supply. T
here’s still much to learn about our space neighbor and tools like the Express are helping us learn more and more every day. The ancient lakebed is a promising area for exploration and scientists hope it will provide us with plenty of new information.
