Here's another article on this subject:

I like this:

Ulli Kaeufl of ESO, who was responsible for building one of the instruments used in this study and is a co-author of the new paper, adds: "I am again overwhelmed by how much power there is in remote sensing on other planets using astronomical telescopes: we found an ancient ocean more than 100 million kilometres away!"

I would like to see bigger and better telescopes in space more than I would like to see a mission to Mars.

Mars is all dried up. Let's use the technology of big space telescopes to find some actual living planets out there among the stars.

I realize that the two endeavors are not mutually exclusive, but there are limited funds available.

It is hard to imagine a warm wet world without some forms of life. I am intrigued by the theory that we humans may be immigrants from Mars.

The view of the planet’s ancient history radically re-writes what many scientists believed only a decade ago.

But I thought that scientists were never wrong, especially climatologists.

For Mars to ever have been warm enough to make that possible, the Earth would have been turned into a piece of charcoal.
