AOL Latino News & Agencies) .- A new map of the valleys of Mars developed by Northern Illinois University, next to the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston supports the theory that an ocean covered the red planet's northern hemisphere.The technique used to map the Martian terrain is an innovative computer program to produce a more detailed global map of the network of valleys of the red planet itself that has led scientists to think of similarities between the mountain systems Martians and earthlings. Furthermore, the densest regions in valleys form a belt around the planet between Ecuador and latitudes of the southern half, which is consistent with

a climate scenario that included past precipitation and the presence of an ocean covering much of the northern hemisphere Mars NASA reveals new images of Mars Gullies, dunes, craters, geological formations and other features of the red planet are new images from NASA that can be admired through a series of photographs that were captured in one of the 1500 telescopic observations of the spacecraft Mars Reconnaissance Oribter (MRO) . The high quality images with great detail and were taken by the camera "High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) located on the ship and was recording images from the month of April to early August this year, as information on the website of the U.S. space agency. The more than 1500 photos can be viewed on the Internet at the site of the space agency in conjunction with the University of Arizona. Each HiRISE image covers a stretch of Martian terrain 6 kilometers in width, according to NASA. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft was launched in August 2005 to examine potential landing sites for future missions and has provided various data on the red planet.
