Solar 'cannonballs' may have stripped Mars of its water, long-awaited study reveals

89% Informative
NASA 's MAVEN spacecraft has, for the first time, directly observed the process that scientists had long suspected was responsible for stripping Mars of its atmosphere.
The findings could help answer a longstanding question about how Mars transformed from a potentially habitable world with rivers and lakes into the mostly-frozen desert we see today .
For liquid water to persist, Mars would have needed a much denser atmosphere to trap heat and sustain higher surface pressure.
