“Very early in the history of Mars, perhaps 4 billion years ago, the planet was hot enough to support lakes and river networks,” the kite told ARS. “There were sea, and some of those seas were large as the Caspian Sea, maybe big. It was a wet place.” This wet period, however, did not last long – it was very low to eradicate the landscape deeply and deeply.

The kite team used their model to focus on what happened as the planet’s cold, when the era of salts began. “Large areas of snowmelts created huge salt flats, which eventually became over time, a thick sedimentary accumulated curiosity is accumulating in the rover, currently searching,” the kite said. But the era of salts did not mark the end of liquid water on the martian surface.

Flicker

Given the standards of the Earth about 3.5 billion years ago, the landscape became dry. “It was long when the planet was completely dry,” the kite said. During these dry periods, Mars was almost as cold as it is today. But at one time, small areas with liquid water appeared on the martian surface such as otherwise between the oyses between the desert. It was a sterile planet in which flicker, transient lustable spots used to come with melted ice.

This furnishing picture of the development of Martian landscape asks our opportunities to find marks of life in difficult there.

“You can use an idea where you take a cup of water from the Earth’s ocean and put it in one of those transient lakes on Mars,” the kite said. “Some germs in this cup of water will fix in such situations.” The big question, he thinks, can life be born on ancient Mars (instead of surviving). And, perhaps more severe, even if the fictional life that originated before the saline era, when the planets were warm and wet, could remain in popping oyses in a kite model.

Answer, sadness, maybe not.
