Abstract
- NASA's InSight mission has discovered enough water within the crust of Mars to cover the planet's surface. The water is buried several kilometers underground and was detected using a seismometer that recorded marsquakes. The data showed that many of the seismic waves had passed through rock saturated with liquid water. However, reaching this water is currently impractical for astronauts. [Extracted from the article]
