Ancient Martian waterways carved beneath icy caps
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Nov 02, 2024
On a cold, ancient Mars, thick ice layers protected vast lakes and river systems, providing clues to how water flowed across the Red Planet some 3.6 billion years ago. According to new findings by the Planetary Science Institute, carbon dioxide frozen out of Mars' atmosphere helped create conditions that allowed substantial water flow even without a warmer climate.
