What history Mars can teach us?

5/2/20251 min read

3.5 billion years ago,

Mars surface was covered in liquid water,
it also had the potential for life but it didn't last.
Because not far away was a raging nuclear inferno, our SUN. ☀️
It unleashes torrents of high-energy particles known as solar wind,
so powerful and deadly it ripped through the Martian atmosphere,
tearing water molecules apart.
Bit by bit, its ocean evaporated and its water was lost to space.
Any chance of complex life gone forever…

This could have been our story too.
But somehow, on Earth, water and life have found a way to cling on.

Deep within the planet's raging molten furnace burns,
generating a powerful magnetic field
that extends from the heart of the planet 65,000 kilometers out towards the Sun.
A vital force field defending Earth from the same savage solar winds that stripped water from Mars.
