Summary

A team of researchers at Caltech has identified geological features on Mars that suggest the planet may have once been covered by a large ocean. This ocean is believed to have existed long ago, potentially covering a third of Mars' surface.

The findings were made by a former postdoctoral scholar at Caltech, who contributed to the research that highlights these intriguing geological formations.

While the evidence points to the possibility of an ancient ocean, further studies will be necessary to understand the full implications of these findings on our knowledge of Mars' history.
