This research (announced yesterday by the “historic” ASI press conference) is causing an uproar, especially at NASA where there is already a chorus of “skeptics” who demand more evidence …
…or maybe they are a bit burned by the fact that they were not the ones to make this discovery!
As a matter of fact, not long ago, NASA tried to reinterpret old radar surveys of subsurface ice deposits as sand deposits!
The same sand that would produce the seasonal appearance of RSLs (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_flows_on_warm_Martian_slopes)
In the next days there will be a nice tug of war between ESA and NAZA! 😉
