Water is ubiquitous on Earth—about 70% of Earth's surface is covered by the stuff. Water is in the air, on the surface and inside rocks. Geologic evidence suggests water has been stable on Earth since about 4.3 billion years ago.

A 4.45 billion-year-old crystal from Mars reveals an important finding

Researchers have discovered potentially the oldest evidence of hot water activity on Mars through the analysis of a 4.45 billion-year-old zircon grain from the Martian meteorite known as Black Beauty. This finding suggests early Mars may have been habitable, supported by geochemical markers of water-rich fluids and elemental evidence of hydrothermal systems. Unveiling Ancient Water [...]

Traces of water have been found in meteorite fragments from Mars

A rock on  Mars spilled a surprising yellow treasure after Curiosity accidentally cracked through its unremarkable exterior.When the rover rolled its 899-kilogram (1,982-pound) body over the rock back in May, the rock broke open, revealing yellow crystals of elemental sulfur: brimstone.
			   Although sulfates are fairly common on Mars, this represents the first time sulfur has been found on the red planet in its pure elemental form.What's even …
