Evolution of Mars - 4 Billion Years Ago Vs Today

Evolution of Mars: 4 Billion Years Ago Vs Today

Billions of years ago when the Red Planet was young, it appears to have had a thick atmosphere that was warm enough to support oceans of liquid water - a critical ingredient for life. The animation shows how the surface of Mars might have appeared during this ancient clement period, beginning with a flyover of a Martian lake. The artist's concept is based on evidence that Mars was once very different. Rapidly moving clouds suggest the passage of time, and the shift from a warm and wet to a cold and dry climate is shown as the animation progresses. The lakes dry up, while the atmosphere gradually transitions from Earthlike blue skies to the dusty pink and tan hues seen on Mars today.

For decades, planetary scientists have suspected that ancient Mars was a much warmer, wetter environment than it is today, but estimates of just how much water Mars has lost since its formation vary widely. Now, new isotopic measurements by researchers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center reveal that an ocean once covered approximately twenty percent of the Martian surface. This new picture of early Mars is considerably wetter than many previous estimates, raising the odds for the ancient habitability of the Red Planet.

Sad to see my brother lose all his water

Song - "what's next"
Earth - me!

[IceZ_]

Fun Fact: Mars was habitable for 1.5b years.

[Aloha_B]

“Oh sh!t I messed up, we gotta go bald now” 💀

[swipezz]

for ppl who wanna know why:

mars was habitable until its core started to cool and lost its magnetic field, this made mars weaker from solar winds and its oceans evaporated but scientists still think there is water below the surface so mars could be terraformed

Nobody:
Mars : i am bored being blue let me dye myself red real quick.

[marvelous]

Present of Mars is the future of Earth.

Legends says that Elon Musk is still crying whenever he watches this video

[Lee-Honni]

The song saying "What's next" 💀

[Sonicthexml]

Dude mars could actually been a safe planet to live on 😭

[bradenekii]

Mars: sun keep me blue now :sun: no be red now

[TerrorVTheTitan]

Mars glow-up sent me to Neptune with no Blankets🥶....💀

[RainO]

If the Mars hadn't lost it water then it would've been a habitable planet

[dynamicvibe]

Earth became warm, but Mars became
But because of Mars' theoretical past incident, humanity will become inter-planetary species.

[skyarene]

Y'all not gonna talk about that smooth transition

[evanyes]

It is crazy to believe that Mars was like earth.

[amkiotx_hearts_u]

Earth: "ey dude can i have a sip?"
Mars: "y-"

[Ggtg]

What if, our ancestors created a civilization in the mars but a ww3 like something happened or somehow a catastrophic event happened then they migrated to some other galaxies and sent some millions of them who lost in the war or proven guilty for destroying the home planet mars to earth. 😢.i know my english was bad.. sorry

respect to the cameraman who lived millions of years to film this moment for us 🤯
