4 dni temu · Clay: The Hidden Vault of Martian Atmosphere. For two MIT geologists, the answer may lie in the planet’s clay. In a paper published on September 25 in the journal Science Advances, they propose that much of Mars’ missing atmosphere could be locked up in the planet’s clay-covered crust. The team makes the case that, while water was present ...

30 mar 2017 · Solar wind and radiation are responsible for stripping the Martian atmosphere, transforming Mars from a planet that could have supported life billions of years ago into a frigid desert world, according to new results from NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft.
5 lis 2015 · NASA researchers believe that around 4.3 billion years ago, Mars had incredibly deep oceans that held more water than the Arctic Ocean here on Earth. From this new research, it appears that Mars' oceans evaporated due to the planet's thinning atmosphere, and then slowly leaked out into space.
