ScienceCommunicatorHumanity (species) has polluted the land, water & atmosphere. If humanity was wise, we'd wise up before it was too late to prevent an ecological catastrophe. However, it's a 'big ancient planet' that will eventually recycle our pollution (over a very long time frame)

Elena @ ELabArtsI'm always excited to work on thumbnails for New Nature's videos since they always involve cutting some earth in half.

matecurkovicScientists using NASA’s Curiosity rover have found the first clear evidence of an ancient Martian sandstorm in Gale Crater, dating back over 3.5 billion years.
The unique ripple formations reveal that Mars once had a much denser atmosphere capable of powerful, short-lived storms.
This discovery offers new insight into the Red Planet’s past environment and potential habitability.

'Serendipitous' discovery of Martian ripple marks reveals an ancient sandstorm
The search for life on Mars involves the efforts of scientists from many different disciplines. An important aspect of that search is to study Martian sedimentary rocks for information about the planet's environment when it is likely that the surface environment hosted abundant water and therefore more habitable, around three to four billion years ago. Now, research published in the journal Geology shows evidence of an intense sandstorm that swept through Mars's Gale crater over three billion years ago.
600 million years ago, Earth’s magnetic field shifted wildly during the Ediacaran Period. 🧭

Wisdom in SpaceIt is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organization upon the natural organization of the body.
