NASA discovers signs of ancient 'Niagara Falls' of lava on Mars

NASA has found signs of ancient water on Mars multiple times over the years but now their recent find is actually something kickass and amazing!

Any guesses?

Let us kill the suspense!

NASA has recently discovered molten Martian lava on Mars.

Yes. Molten lava!

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has taken photos of a part of the red planet that once played host to huge multi-tiered falls of lava that cascaded into a crater.

The images also show off the (now dried) circular flow of lava at the base of the falls, where the molten rock fanned outward on the crater's floor.

According to NASA, "The lava flows and falls are distinct as they are rougher than the original features that are smooth and knobby," 

NASA referred the features as the "Niagara Falls of Mars."

 "In a close-up image the rough-textured lava flow to the north has breached the crater wall at a narrow point, where it then cascades downwards, fanning out and draping the steeper slopes of the wall in the process," NASA said in a statement.

This isn't the first evidence of lava on Mars. Researchers have also theorized that there were once channels of lava on Mars, and even lava tubes on the red planet, shaping its geology.
