Mars Is Likely Hiding Oceans Worth of Water Deep in Its Crust

A year and a half after the end of its mission, NASA’s InSight Mars lander may have just helped scientists find enough water to fill an ocean.

Deep beneath NASA’s InSight lander (RIP InSight), an ocean’s worth of liquid water may be trapped in rocky fissures, suggests a recent study of data recorded during more than 1,300 Marsquakes. If University of California, San Diego, geologist Vashan Wright and his colleagues are right, then Mars may be hiding underground reservoirs of water larger than the planet’s ancient, now-vanished, oceans. That could change how we search for traces of life on Mars, as well as how future Mars missions could supply themselves with water, rocket fuel, and oxygen to breathe.

Wright and his colleagues published their work in the journal Proceedings of the Natural Academy of Sciences.

‘The Elder Scrolls’ Remake Project Is Looking Great Ahead of Its 2025 Release

We may still be closer to living on Mars than we are to playing a copy of The Elder Scrolls VI, but you don’t have to wait that long to enjoy a new adventure in Tamriel. Well, maybe not an entirely new adventure, but a considerably prettier version of an old one. Skyblivion, a project to mod all of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion into its successor Skyrim, just released a new video showcasing the recent progress on its game, and it’s still on track for a release in 2025.

The new video centers on the city of Chorrol, a location Oblivion players will likely recognize from early in their time with the original game. As you’d expect from this kind of overhaul mod, Chorrol looks essentially the same as it did before in layout and general vibes, but with the benefit of Skyrim’s much-improved graphics. Eagle-eyed viewers will notice that characters no longer have Oblivion’s signature squashed Play-Doh faces.
