💨 Abstract

NASA's Curiosity rover discovered evidence of a carbon cycle on ancient Mars, suggesting it may have once supported life. The team, led by Dr. Ben Tutolo, found siderite, an iron carbonate material, within sulfate-rich layers of Mount Sharp in Gale Crater. The discovery indicates that the atmosphere contained enough carbon dioxide to support liquid water on Mars' surface.
