Peruvian scientists built a simulator akin to a Mars-in-a-box: Frosty below-zero temperatures, high carbon dioxide concentrations, the air pressure found at 6,000 metres altitude and a system of ...

The changes in Mars' temperature were reflected by chemical changes, too, the team theorizes. Carbon dioxide would have been constantly reacting with sunlight to produce carbon monoxide.

However, new research challenges the notion that Mars had always been dry, rather it suggests that ancient Mars may have experienced dramatic temperature shifts, oscillating between hot and cold ...
