A team of scientists just discovered the longest organic molecules yet seen on Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun and and a ...

Her research provides new insights for understanding how the atmosphere of Mars has evolved over time. Unlike Earth, Mars lacks a global magnetic field and interacts with the solar wind directly.

"Our study reveals that ferrihydrite formation on Mars required the presence of both oxygen – whether from the atmosphere or other sources – and water capable of reacting with iron. These ...

Atmosphere and Pressure: Mars has a thin atmosphere with low pressure, which could affect how liquids and gases behave during ISL. Sealed systems might be needed to maintain the solution’s integrity.

However, over eons of billions of years, the planet revolutionized. As Mars' atmosphere was stripped off by solar winds, possibly because the planet has a weak magnetic field, it cooled and dried.

Our study reveals that ferrihydrite formation on Mars required the presence of both oxygen — whether from the atmosphere or other sources — and water capable of reacting with iron.” ...

Relatively early in its history, Mars lost its magnetic field, which allowed the solar wind to claw away most of its atmosphere; with that, much of the water sublimed into space. It’s in the ...

Scientist is proud to have led "the first astrobiology study to involve Algeria," and believes that his findings are a major step towards finding evidence of life on Mars. Scientists searching for ...
