So, The Hunch Is Being Confirmed

To better understand Mars’ Gale Crater system, William Rapin and his colleagues hypothesized that researching water flow across the Altiplano would be fruitful. Curiosity’s data shows that this was the proper course of action.

Despite what we can see through telescopes, Mars wasn’t always as frigid and desert-like as we can see it in 2022. About four billion years ago, there was a lot of water on the surface of Mars. The Perseverance Rover investigated the Jezero Crater in search of signs of a past life when liquid water flowed in large streams and stalled in the form of lakes.
