Signs of water on Mars' surface might not be what we thought

Summary

86% Informative

A team from Brown University and the University of Bern used artificial intelligence to analyze over 86,000 high-resolution satellite images of the Martian surface.

They found no link between the streaks and moisture, frost, or any other clear signs of water.

Instead, the features were more common in areas with strong winds and high dust activity.

This points to a dry process, where dust layers suddenly shift down slopes due to external forces like wind.
