Mars Was a Rainy Jungle Planet - NASA Finds Evidence

NASA has recently stunned the world with findings from the Perseverance rover that suggest ancient Mars may have once resembled a rainy jungle planet. This breaking space news centers on the discovery of kaolinite clay, a rare mineral that on Earth only forms through millions of years of tropical rainfall and warm, humid conditions. In this science documentary, we investigate the evidence of ancient rivers, massive lakes, and "wave-rippled" shorelines that point to a habitable environment far plusher than the frozen desert we see today. Discover how astrobiologists are using these latest NASA discoveries to hunt for signs of ancient life buried within the Martian crust. Watch now to explore the shocking transformation of the Red Planet and see the satellite imagery that proves Mars was once a world of liquid water and potentially lush oases.
