NASA’S<br />

CURIOSITY<br />

ROVER TO<br />

SAMPLE<br />

WATER ON<br />

MARS<br />

NASA scientists have been<br />

searching for liquid water<br />

on mars, and they’ve found<br />

hints. <strong>No</strong>w, they want to<br />

have a closer look at it. NASA<br />

revealed that the Curiosity<br />

rover will be investigating<br />

recurring slope lineae—<br />

the dark narrow streaks on<br />

the above photo—around<br />

Mars’ Gale Crater hoping to<br />

find water.<br />

It will first take a photo<br />

using its mast camera to<br />

make sure that there really<br />

is water. If it does find<br />

water, the machine will<br />

go and get samples. The<br />

agency is expecting to take<br />

photos within a year.<br />

However, finding water<br />

doesn’t mean Curiosity will<br />

find life. As we all know,<br />

Mars’ harsh conditions like<br />

fierce radiation might have<br />

prevented life in the first<br />

place. We may take a look<br />

at this investigation as a<br />

stepping stone for mankind.<br />

By getting results, the<br />

findings Curiosity will collect<br />

may help plan a mission<br />

for finding signs of life. A<br />

small success in this trip may<br />

lead to greater things in the<br />

future.<br />
