On its 4,608th Martian sol, NASA’s Curiosity rover captured a 5-cm coral-shaped rock nicknamed Paposo in Gale Crater, suggesting ancient liquid water in Mars’ history. A global river study radiocarbon-dating CO2 from over 700 rivers found that about 60% of river-emitted carbon comes from ancient carbon stores. The same study estimates plants and soils may…
