NASA Orbiter finds Martian Rock Record with 10 beats to the bar
Climate cycles persisting for millions of years on ancient Mars left a record of rhythmic patterns in thick stacks of sedimentary rock layers, revealed in three-dimensional detail by a telescopic camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The findings made with the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera push climate-cycle fingerprints much earlier in Mars history than rhythms seen in Martian ice layers.
