NASA Rover Just Made A STRANGE Discovery On Mars!
Mars has captivated humans since we first set eyes on it as a star-like object in the night sky. In the 1960s, humans set out to discover what the red planet has to teach us. Ever since that, with hundreds of worlds in the solar system, Mars became one of the most explored bodies. It is a dynamic planet with seasons, polar ice caps, canyons, extinct volcanoes, and evidence that it was even more active in the past. And most important of all, it might be habitual.
Even though the possibilities of ancient life on Mars appear to be high, the argument that we should explore the Red Planet because it is a possibly livable world loses steam when we consider that Mars isn’t the only potentially habitable world in our vicinity.
To mention a few potentially livable water-ice worlds in our solar system, scientists have tracked spurting water at Saturn’s moon Enceladus and Jupiter’s moon Europa. Also, a highly contentious discovery of phosphine in Venus’s atmosphere sparked speculation about life on the hellish planet, but experts think that’s a reach based on current evidence. But still, the traces of life have been found.
The question here is of why. Why just keep going back to Mars? With all these missions, scientists gathered so much information about the planet but they kept going back. Space.com states that according to scientists, there is something really special about Mars, so special that three new missions have arrived at or are nearing the Red Planet. With the planets aligning for launch possibilities every two years or so, Mars is close enough to be visited reasonably easily with current technology. Its atmosphere is difficult to land in and navigate through, but unlike Venus, it will not crush or melt your spacecraft on the surface.
