Nasa’s Curiosity rover discovers evidence of an ancient sandstorm preserved in Mars rocks for billions of years
Nasa’s Curiosity rover discovered ancient sandstorm evidence in Gale Crater. Delicate ripple-like layers reveal a single weather event from billions of years ago. This discovery indicates Mars once had a much denser atmosphere than today. These formations are the first definitive evidence of an ancient Martian sandstorm. The preserved event offers a rare glimpse into early Martian climate conditions.
