Early possibilities for life on Mars might have been lessened by meteorites.A brand-new research study recommends that a period of heavy cratering on the Red Planet (and somewhere else in the solar system) continued 30 million years longer than believed. Previously, a bulk of research studies suggested that large meteorite effects on Mars ceased 30 million years prior to that period, or approximately 4.85 billion years ago.Early Mars was thought about a warmer and wetter environment, with a thicker environment that might have permitted life to persist on the surface. An independent study of NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter images recommends water may have continued on the surface longer than previously suggested.An artists illustration of a Mars with Earth-like surface area water.
