- Scientists have discovered a reservoir of liquid water on Mars - deep in the rocky outer crust of the planet.
- This is the first time liquid water has been found on the planet.
- Nasa’s Mars Insight Lander has recorded four years of vibrations - Mars quakes - from deep inside the Red Planet.
- The analysis revealed reservoirs of water at depths of about six to 12 miles (10 to 20km) in the Martian crust.
- It is thought that Mars’ water vanished when the planet lost its magnetic field and atmosphere billions of years ago.
- There is water frozen at the Martian poles and evidence of vapour in the atmosphere.
