Mars’ Hidden Secrets: New Discoveries of Ancient Habitable Environments

Join us as we delve into NASA's latest groundbreaking discoveries on Mars. The Curiosity rover uncovers significant siderite deposits in Gale Crater, revealing Mars' ancient carbon cycle and potential past habitability. Meanwhile, the Perseverance rover's findings in Jezero Crater suggest complex mineral histories and episodes of water movement, hinting at environments that could have supported microbial life. Explore how these revelations are reshaping our understanding of the Red Planet and influencing future exploration missions.
