As you may know, the Perseverance Rover reported greenish spots on Martian rocks on August 19, 2024, during its 1,243rd Martian day (sol) of the Mars 2020 mission. The discovery is causing a stir because on Earth, similar green hues in sedimentary rocks, known as<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> \u2018<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">red beds,<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2018 <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">often result from the interaction of water-carrying iron, sometimes involving microbial activity. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">That\u2019s<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> right \u2013 Mars might be red no more, and it might have ancient life, and the scientific community is <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">absolutely<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> buzzing. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mars shows off its green side. <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For centuries, <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">we\u2019ve<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> called Mars the<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> \u2018<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Red Planet<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2018 <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">because<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, well,<\/span> <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">it\u2019s<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> been nothing but rusty hues as far as the eye could see.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> But Perseverance has sent back images <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">that are<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> flipping that narrative on its head.
