Life in the solar system has been explored and debated over centuries, with Mars being the greatest subject of interest. This is due to the existence of water ice on its surface, and water vapour in its atmosphere. The existence of water is pivotal in the exploration of Mars, as it may hold vital information regarding the history of the planet. Scientists have implemented the ideology to ‘follow the water’, as the existence of water allows for life to grow, and more importantly, exist. This is…
