Scientists from all over the world are constantly doing research on Mars. Scientists have made a big disclosure about Mars in new research. New research has shown that there were asteroid showers on Mars for 600 million years. Scientists say that after this discovery, there is a need to study again about the origin of Mars. Scientists from Australia's Curtin University have done this new research. He challenges the earlier study.
According to this research, due to the continuous rain of asteroids, so many craters are visible on Mars. Usually, the age of the planet is known only after scientific calculations of the craters located on the surface. If more pits are seen on a planet, then the exact information about its age can be ascertained.

Scientists have concluded after investigation that the more craters there are on a planet, the older the planet is. In new research, scientists have researched 521 craters present on Mars with the help of New Crater Detection Algorithm, each of which is 20 kilometers in diameter. However, only 40 of these pits are 60 million years old. It has been revealed that the asteroid rained one after the other for 600 million years on Mars. Scientists say that algorithms that identify potholes can provide information about the timing of its fall and their number
Scientists have also come to know in research that before hitting the surface of Mars, the asteroids were separated into many parts, due to which there was a suspicion of their collision in many places. Scientists have expressed hope that with this technique, the time of craters formed on the Moon can be found out. Along with this, an idea of the development of the Moon can also be found.
Anthony Lagen, involved in this study, says that once again research of the Ordovician Spike period of Mars is needed. Scientists should once again research about this period. Most of the craters were believed to have been created during the Ordovician Spike period. This period is about 47 crore years old. Keeping this study in mind, other planets should be studied.
Know what are asteroids
A meteoroid or asteroid is called an asteroid. During the formation of a planet, small pieces of rock break out from it and start revolving around the sun. Sometimes it falls out of its orbit. Usually, asteroids burn up in planetary orbits, but sometimes larger asteroids collide with planets. Asteroids have collided with Earth many times.
