Researchers have uncovered what may be the oldest direct evidence of hot water activity on Mars, suggesting the red planet could have supported life billions of years ago.

Researchers have discovered potentially the oldest evidence of hot water activity on Mars through the analysis of a 4.45 billion-year-old zircon grain from the Martian meteorite known as Black Beauty.

A rock that formed around 4.5 billion years ago on Mars before being blasted into space by a meteor strike and making its way to Earth contains telltale evidence that it was formed in the presence of

Scientists have uncovered tantalizing evidence suggesting that Mars may have hosted hot springs some 4.5 billion years ago, potentially creating environments hospitable to life. This revelation stems from research on a Martian meteorite analyzed by researchers at Curtin University in Australia,
