Ancient Meteorite Unveils Mars' Hot, Life-Supporting Waters
Researchers have found evidence of ancient hot water activity on Mars through a 4.45 billion-year-old zircon grain in the Martian meteorite 'Black Beauty.' This discovery suggests that early Mars may have been habitable, with geochemical markers indicating the presence of water-rich fluids and hydrothermal systems. The study highlights the potential for life-supporting environments on Mars during its early history, despite massive meteorite impacts.
