The possibility of life on the other planets in the Solar System has always been deliberated by astronomers and scientists in an effort to search for water on these entities. However, this might not be a theory anymore. Scientists have discovered a massive reservoir of frozen water beneath the northern polar ice cap on Mars using a ground-penetrating radar.
Mars’ northern cavi unit, resting about a couple of kilometres below the Martian North pole, was found having multiple layers of ice mixed in with sand was considered to have formed over the course of hundreds of supereons. The region is packed with more water ice that sand which could be the third-largest water reservoir on the Red Planet. An instrument called Shallow Radar or SHARAD made these groundbreaking observations possible. The device is mounted on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
