Harvard researchers have presented a new explanation for the historical climate fluctuations on Mars. While current conditions on the red planet are cold and dry, evidence suggests that Mars once had flowing rivers and lakes. This study proposes that the persistent presence of hydrogen in Mars’ atmosphere played a significant role in these historical climate changes, contributing to the temperature oscillations over billions of years.
