![Recurring slope lineae on Mars’s surface. (a) RSL at a crater on the floor of Valles Marineris, near the Martian equator, captured by the HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment). NASA/JPL-Caltech/Univ. of Arizona. (b) Deliquescence process of perchlorates. On Mars, salts such as calcium perchlorate [Ca(ClO4)2] and magnesium perchlorate [Mg(ClO4)2] may be able to absorb water vapour from the atmosphere and dissolve into it to form aqueous brines. This process requires that relative humidity (RH) be higher than the deliquescence relative humidity of each salt (DRHs). -- Microorganisms via PubMed](https://i0.wp.com/astrobiology.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Remarks-On-Life-Feasibility.png?resize=1200%2C720&ssl=1)
