Scientists have discovered flowing salt water on Mars, which has sparked conversations about potential alien life within the planet's surface. The images sent from NASA's orbiter unveiled flowing waters descending down from rocky slopes.

The mysterious dark lines in question were observed to be occurring seasonally as the ground they came from was exposed to warmer temperatures. The line would then disappear later as temperatures dropped, causing the scientists to speculate that briny water was causing the flows. The discovery could be a huge breakthrough in the search for whether or not liquid water ever existed on the surface of Mars.

New evidence suggesting the existence of water flowing on Mars indicates the possibility for life to exist on the Red Planet.

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter revealed on Thursday that highly salty water may flow on Red Planet during the warmest months, which raise the chances that life could exist on Mars.
