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.     Asteroid rained on Mars for 600 million years - Photo : Twitter @SPACEdotcom Scientists have concluded after investigation that the...

  Mars is a planet in the solar system. It is the 4th planet from the Sun, at a distance of about 228 million kilometers, and it is smaller than Earth, only about 6800 kilometers in diameter at the equator. The Martian day is only slightly longer than a day on Earth, but its orbital year is about 780 Earth days (2.1 Earth years). The planet appears red, because its surface is highly oxidized. The atmosphere there is mostly carbon dioxide (96%) and only about 8% as dense as Earth's. The gravity on the Martian surface is only a little more than a third of Earth's (.376  g )

A Martian colony can perform various functions. It can serve as a research outpost, a mining colony, or even a second home for earthlings if something goes wrong on our own planet. But beyond that, Mars could be a source of one of the most potentially valuable elements in the space economy, hydrogen. A new paper published by a group led by Dr. Mikhail Shubov from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, USA, discusses just such a possibility. Hydrogen has many different uses, from forming water molecules to being used as a component in rocket fuel. The problem is that in the inner part of the solar system, access to hydrogen is very limited. Huge reserves of hydrogen are contained in the matter of Jupiter and the Sun, but extracting it from these giant "gravity wells" is technologically impractical. Smaller celestial bodies, such as asteroids, have some water that can be used as a source of hydrogen, but these reserves are not enough to meet the needs of this element throug...
