Africa-Press – Liberia. The findings of a research team show that a meteorite they investigated had limited exposure to water, which may point at the lack of a large hydrothermal system in its place of origin.
The likelihood of life thriving on Mars millions of years ago may not seem particularly high in light of a new study conducted by an international team of researchers led by Lund University in Sweden.
The research in question involved the team using neutron and X-ray tomography to study a meteorite whose age is estimated at about 1.3 billion years and which originated from Red Planet.
According to a media release published on the university’s website, the team’s efforts revealed that the sample they were studying had limited exposure to water, thus suggesting that there “probably wasn’t a large hydrothermal system that gave rise to the alteration”.
