Okay, Mars just got more interesting. A new study flipped the script โ€” 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. ๐Ÿš€
