rovers, respectively. That's potentially long enough to allow for the development and support of life, study team members said.
"And on Mars, it gives us a time machine to take the rivers that are dead now and get a sense of what they were like when they were actively flowing."Images from NASA's Cassini mission show hydrocarbon river networks draining into lakes in the north polar region of Titan, Saturn's largest moon. "This means that rivers with different gravity and materials should follow similar relationships," Perron explained."That opened up a possibility to apply this to other planets, too."When the new technique is used here on Earth, geologists can make measurements of the river characteristics required by these equations to accurately predict a river’s flow rate or how much water and sediment it can move downstream.
