Thin Ice, Hidden Lakes: Mars May Harbor Decades-Long Water Under Seasonal Ice

A new LakeM2ARS climate model shows ancient Martian lakes could endure for decades beneath thin, seasonal ice, insulating water enough to stay liquid in a cold, CO2-rich early Mars. By adapting Earth-based Proxy System Modeling, researchers ran 64 simulations across varied conditions, suggesting minimal ice can preserve lakes without leaving obvious glacial traces. If confirmed, this helps explain geological evidence of past water and prompts applying the model to other regions to reassess Mars’ habitability.

Scientists Discover Growing Giant Snake Heavier Than a Car

Titanoboa cerrejonensis, the largest snake ever discovered, lived over 58 million years ago during the Paleocene epoch, reaching lengths of up to 46 feet and weighing over a ton. Its discovery has provided valuable insights into prehistoric ecosystems and climate conditions, indicating that Earth's temperatures were significantly higher during that period, which supported such massive reptiles. The snake was an aquatic constrictor that preyed mainly on fish, and its existence helps scientists understand how life rebounded after the dinosaurs' extinction and how climate influences species evolution.
