Space News - Water on Mars ?

Water on Mars New pictures taken by the Mars Global Surveyor's camera show landforms most likely created by liquid water moving beneath the surface of Mars. The features in these photos show that water has seeped onto the surface in the recent past and caused landslides. These landforms are called gullies. This is exiting news for space science because water is considered to be the most important element for life, as we know it.

This brings up the age-old question "Is there life on Mars?"
