Okay, Mars just got more interesting. A new study flipped the script — ancient Mars wasn’t a frozen wasteland. It was warm, rainy, and potentially habitable for millions of years.

Perseverance found clay pebbles in Jezero Crater that tell a wild story. Researchers in Nature Geoscience say they

“likely represent some of the wettest intervals and possibly most habitable portions of Mars’ history.”

Rain. On Mars. For millions of years. 🚀
