Mars' Atmosphere Was Likely More Oxygen-Rich Long Ago

This photo shows NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity at a location called “Windjana,” where the rover found rocks containing manganese-oxide minerals, which require abundant water and strongly oxidizing conditions to form Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS Ancient Mars was even more Earth-like than scientists had thought, a new study suggests. NASA’s Curiosity rover has detected high concentrations of manganese […]
