Reported 4 months ago

Meteorites from Mars that landed on Earth have provided scientists with insights into the volcanic history of Mars, revealing the presence of silicate reservoirs and helping understand the planet's structure and evolution. By studying two types of Martian meteorites, researchers were able to determine they originated from the same volcanic system around 1.3 billion years ago, showing similarities and differences in Mars' volcanism compared to Earth. This research, published in Science Advances, highlights the importance of Martian meteorites in understanding the planet's history without physically visiting Mars.
