Mars rover shows evidence of a lake on the Red Planet, which could have held microbial life

The video discusses the sedimentary layers at Mount Sharp within Gale Crater on Mars, highlighting evidence of water currents and sediments. NASA suggests that Mars may have supported long-lasting lakes capable of sustaining microbial life for millions of years. Scientists theorize that runoff from the crater rim could have formed a lake, leading to sediment accumulation and the creation of Mount Sharp.
