A NASA rover finally found Mars’ missing carbon
SMRTR summary
NASA's Curiosity rover discovered siderite, a carbon-bearing mineral, in Mars' Gale crater, providing the first evidence of a carbon cycle on the Red Planet. This finding suggests Mars lost its warm climate due to a slow carbon cycle, as the surface rocks absorbed more carbon than they released, explaining the planet's dramatic drying and loss of atmosphere.
