The movie is generated using 67 images from the High Resolution Stereo Camera on-board Mars Express spacecraft. Water exists on the surface of Mars in the form of ice, and a small amount is present in the atmosphere in the form of vapor. Liquid water cannot exist in a stable form for an extended period on the Mars surface due to its present low atmospheric pressure and low temperature. Geologic evidence like the images used in this video show that, water was abundant on Mars and has played a significant role in the planets geologic history. An artists impression of what ancient Mars may have looked like, based on geological data is shown in the image [upload.wikimedia.org/.../Anc.../600px-AncientMars.jpg]
