A Stinky Gas Seeping From The Bowels of Mars May Reveal The Planet Is Still Volcanically Active
Mars has undergone some monumental PR shifts over the past few centuries. Once thought to be criss-crossed with canals created by an untold alien race, it has since been reclassified as still red but overwhelmingly dead.
AI Summary
Mars was once imagined as a network of alien‑built canals, but modern science now describes it as a barren, red world. Recent studies, however, reveal that the planet once held abundant water and conditions that could have supported life. New observations show Mars is still geologically active, displaying green aurorae, fresh lava flows, and measurable marsquakes. These findings suggest ongoing internal processes that could explain the detection of a foul‑smelling gas emanating from the planet’s interior.
