SPACE-MARS-WATER
This NASA handout image taken by the Mars Hand Lens Imager on board the Mars rover Curiosity shows texture of the "snake" as seen by MAHLI on Sol 149 (January 6, 2013). Note the uniformly fine
grain size and presence of pits that may reflect void spaces and, in some cases, erosion of softer components that may represent intraclasts. In a study released in the December 9, 2013 issue of Journal Express, new data from Curiosity, reveals that the rover’s landing site -- the Gale Crater -- once harbored an ancient lake that was theoretically capable of hosting microbes known as a chemolithoautotrophs, which are able to break down rocks and minerals for energy.
