How does studying a Martian meteorite help understand Earth’s origins?

The Hindu  

More than 4.5 billion years ago, it’s possible that Mars, the Red Planet, had a crust comparable to Iceland today. This discovery, hidden in the oldest martian fragments found on Earth, could provide information about our planet that was lost over billions of years of geological movement and could help explain why the Earth developed into a planet that sustains …

Mars colony fantasies need to plan for garbage.

Slate  

The machines we’ve sent to Mars are great at selling real estate. Paper products and plastic amount to around 27 percent of the total, and then there’s metal, glass, and “other.” Of course, exactly who produces this garbage is very unevenly distributed across the globe, with the average citizen of the United States beating out pretty much everyone else, with …

LOADING ERROR LOADING CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A 4 billion-year-old meteorite from Mars that caused a splash here on Earth decades ago contains no evidence of ancient, primitive Martian life after all, scientists reported Thursday. Tiny samples from the meteorite show the carbon-rich compounds are actually the result of water — most likely salty, or briny, water — flowing over …

Martian meteorites also hold clues about how people may one day be able to survive on the planet. Although there have been no return missions, there is a lot we can learn without travelling to Mars — from the more than 260 Martian meteorites that have fallen on Earth. Using a scanning electron microscope, my examination revealed it was a …
