NASA’s rover Curiosity has detected significant amounts of manganese oxides on Mars, suggesting the Red Planet may once have had atmospheric oxygen.
NASA’s Curiosity rover has been exploring the Gale Crater on Mars since 2012, and in that time has come up with some astounding discoveries that suggest the Red Planet was somewhat Earth-like in its earlier times.Â
The rover has come through again, this time detecting significant amounts of manganese oxides inside of mineral veins.Â
Said researcher Nina Lanza of New Mexico’s Los Alamos National Laboratory, "The only ways on Earth that we know how to make these manganese materials involve atmospheric oxygen or microbes. Now we're seeing manganese oxides on Mars, and we're wondering how the heck these could have formed?"Â
She further notes, “One potential way that oxygen could have gotten into the Martian atmosphere is from the breakdown of water wh
