Syrtis Major, Mars – Marsologists are excitedly reporting that a lake has been discovered on Planet Mars!
What was first observed with the Viking Orbiter has now been confirmed with the Mars Rover.
The unnamed lake is reportedly in the region that Martian topographers call the Syrtis Major Planum.
It seems that water flows into this lake from Mount Olympus which is in the Tharsis region and then eventually into the Kaiser Sea.
Top Italian Marsologist, Giovanni Schiaparelli, says: “Non siamo sicuri se il lago ha acqua normale o acqua forse pesante. Ma l’acqua è acqua, non importa quanto l’idrogeno ha.”
This translates into: “We are not sure if the lake has normal water (H2O) or perhaps heavy water (H3O). But hey, water is water, no matter how much hydrogen it has, eh?”
As to what he thinks the official name of the lake will be, Giovanni simply said: “I think maybe Justin TimberLake!?”
