Description

This Astrum supercut explores the search for water on Mars. Recent discoveries have allowed scientists to build up a picture of an ancient world shaped by rivers, lakes, oceans, and rain. But what has each rover actually found? And what does it mean for future exploration and the search for life?



To those returning and new to the channel: This video is a supercut of Astrum’s best videos about water on Mars, plus new and updated content. We’ve edited this into a new seamless video, all remastered in 4K resolution.
