Can you help discover water on Mars? Finding water on different regions on Mars has implications for understanding its complex geologic history , the possible existence of past life and the sustenance of potential future astronauts . Many space missions have taken photographs of the surface of the red planet, and some of them might show a subtle clue pointing to water on Mars that has been missed. By close inspection of images, following curiosity, applying scientific principles , applying knowledge about features on the Martian surface, and applying principles of planetary geology , such clues might be brought to light. In the meantime, happy April Fool's Day from the folks at APOD !
