Jessica Hodge+FollowMars Water Mystery Just Got JuicierTurns out those dark streaks on Mars that had everyone hyped about possible water (and maybe life)? They might just be dust flows, not signs of anything wet. Scientists dug through decades of satellite pics and found these streaks are likely caused by ultra-fine dust sliding down slopes—no liquid needed! It’s like Mars is playing tricks on us, looking wet but actually super dry. The hunt for Martian life just got a little tougher, but the red planet’s still full of surprises! #Mars #SpaceNews #Science #Astrobiology #WaterOnMars525Share
Tamara Jones+FollowMars Had Snow Days?!Turns out Mars might’ve had its own snowstorms way back when! New research suggests ancient Mars saw precipitation—yep, rain or snow—just like Earth. Scientists modeled Martian landscapes and found valley heads at all kinds of elevations, which is tough to explain with just melting ice. While today’s Mars only gets a sprinkle of weird snow (think dry ice cubes), the Red Planet’s past might’ve been a lot wetter and wilder than we thought. Still, the mystery of where all that water went is far from solved! #Mars #SpaceMystery #ScienceNews #RedPlanet #WaterOnMars #Science00Share
