Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He mihi ki ngā misioni pēnei i te rover Curiosity a NASA, e mōhio ana mātou i mua he wai i Mars - engari tae noa ki tēnei wā kāore mātou i te mōhio he aha te nui. Kua whakaratohia e ngā kaipūtaiao ngā tatauranga pai rawa atu, e kī ana he nui ake te wai i te Moana Arctic - ā, i mau tonu i te ao ēnei moana mō te neke atu i te 1.5 piriona tau. Ko ngā kitenga e tohu ana he nui te wā me te wai mō te ora i runga i a Mars kia tupu, engari i roto i ngā tau 3.7 piriona whakamutunga kua ngaro te aorangi whero i te 87 ōrau o tōna wai - e waiho ana i a ia he koretake, he maroke. Kua tātaihia e ngā kaipūtaiao NASA i Maryland te nui o te wai i mua i runga i a Mars. I kitea e rātau i te 3.7 piriona tau ki muri he nui ake i te Moana Arctic. Ko te nuinga o tēnei i roto i te raki o te ao (whakaahuahia). Mai i taua wā, 87% o te wai kua ngaro ki te mokowā, ā, ko te toenga i rokiroki ki te hukapapa i ngā pou. Ko te rangahau nā ngā pūtaiao o te Goddard Space Flight Center o NASA i Greenbelt, Maryland, te tuatahi ki te whakatau i te nui o te wai o Mars i tōna wā o mua. I te wā o tōna wā Noa - 4.1 ki te 3.7 piriona tau ki muri - e whakaarohia ana he nui te wai hei hipoki i te mata katoa i roto i te paparanga wai 450 waewae (137 mita te hohonu). Heoi anō, tērā pea ko te nuinga o te wai i hanga i tētahi moana e noho ana i te haurua raki o Mars, e kotahi māra (1.6km) te hohonu i ētahi wāhi - e ōrite ana ki te Moana Mediterranean i runga i te Ao. I whakaputaina i roto i te niupepa Science, e whakatau ana te rangahau, i roto i te katoa, ko te mea inaianei ko te papa o te whenua ki te raki o te ao ka mau i te iti rawa i te 12.4 miriona kiromita pahekeheke o te wai. Ko te taringa o te <unk>HoloLens' a Microsoft, e ahei ana ki te hunga mau ki te kite i nga whakaahua 3D i runga ake i to raatau tirohanga, ka ahua rite ki te kiriata sci-fi. Na inaianei kua whakakitea e NASA te hangarau tauira ka whakamahia ki te āhei ona pūtaiao ki te mahi tata i runga i Mars. Ka mahi te taringa ki te pūmanawa OnSight hei whakarato i ngā pūtaiao ki te whakamahere i ngā whakamātautau i runga i te aorangi whero, mā te āwhina o te rover Curiosity. I whakawhanakehia te pūmanawa e ngā kamupene e rua,...
I ako ngā kaipūtaiao o NASA Goddard i Maryland i ngā wai o mua i runga i a Mars. I kitea e rātau i te 3.7 piriona tau ki muri he nui ake i te Moana Arctic. Ko te nuinga o ēnei i te raki o te ao. Mai i taua wā, 87% kua ngaro ki te mokowā, ā, ko te toenga kei roto i te huka i ngā pou. Engari e mōhio ana ngā kaipūtaiao i tēnei wā he makuku a Mars mō te neke atu i te 1.5 piriona tau. He 'roa ake tēnei i te wā e hiahiatia ana hei whanake i te ora i runga i te Ao'
