MARS’ ATMOSPHERE SURPRISE!

Dateline Mars – Is there water on Mars? The answer is, “yes.” Is there a thick atmosphere on Mars? Again the answer is, “yes.” Mars has long thought to be a barren desert planet with super small and probably super thin polar caps, but not anymore.
The fact that we are flying a helicopter over the Martian surface tells us there has to be sufficiently dense and moisture-laden atmosphere for the chopper to fly at all. Now we see something really awesome, and that’s clouds in the Martian sky!
On a really dry and hot day in Yuma, Arizona helicopters cannot get airborne due to the ‘thinness’ of the atmosphere. That might be telling us that, if you can breathe the hot thin air of Yuma, Arizona then the same might be said for Mars. On that front … time will tell.
These clouds can shade the sun and restrict visibility. Well, let’s see … clouds are made of water, aren’t they? Click here for the full story: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/nasa-curiosity-rover-cloud-photos-202447024.html
Ya never know. I’m Max, and that’s the way I see it!
