There are over 600 DLES on the Martian surface so reconciling how they formed with our knowledge of the climate of Mars is pretty important Weiss says.
or so known Martian meteorites#those rare rocks that get ejected from the Martian surface into space when an asteroid hits the planet,
It s also the only known Martian sample On earth that hails from a critical period, about 2 billion years ago,
found in the Sahara desert, has a higher water content than any Martian meteorite previously analysed.
NWA 7034 is the second-oldest Martian meteorite, and provides a missing link in the planet s geological record,
The oldest prospective Martian meteorite, ALH 84001, is 4. 5 billion years old, whereas all other Martian meteorites are 1. 3 billion years old or younger.)
Several lines of evidence indicate that parts of Mars were warmer and wetter, and therefore a possible haven for carbon-based life, some 4 billion years ago.
That is not a surprise, given the map of hydrogen (a stand-in for water) generated by an instrument on the Mars Odyssey orbiting spacecraft and the presence of small amounts of water in younger Martian meteorites
Such weight can't be slowed adequately by parachutes in the Martian air which is just 1 per cent as dense as Earth's. Unfortunately rocket-powered landings are out of the question too as the atmosphere is still just thick enough to buffet incoming spacecraft with more turbulence than thrusters can accommodate.
or a crewed Martian trek may not be beyond China's reach. In a press conference Monday a spokeswoman for the Chinese human space programme Wu Ping announced that Shenzhou-10 will lift off at 0938 UTC according to the Chinese news service Xinhua.
#Curiosity's discoveries hint at life's cradle on Mars NASA's Curiosity rover has found what it was looking for in its very first taste of Martian rock much to everyone's surprise.
Instead the discovery came from the rover's first sample of the insides of a Martian rock drilled on 9 february near an ancient stream bed in an area called Yellowknife Bay.
