The recent discovery of possible salt water on mars could lead to extraterrestrial life on Mars. NASA's Reconnaissance Orbiter release photos of possible flowing water extending onto a rocky slope. The images show dark colored slim streaks flowing down from slopes and crevices. Brown streaks appear and disappear throughout Mars' winter spring and summer seasons. Briny water has been speculated to be flowing during those seasons.
