ScienceCasts: What Happened to Mars? A Planetary Mystery 

A growing number of scientists today are questioning the entire theoretical framework taken for granted in this video. New evidence implies a highly electrified heliosphere, affecting the evolution of the planetary system as a whole. Even today we continue to discover residual electrical connections between the Sun, the planets, and their moons. What electrical events might have acted on Mars in an earlier time?

I really love these. Keep them coming, please.

it makes you wonder what ever happen to Mars could that be our destiny.

Mars was too small to keep it's core molten, so it solidified and lost it's magnetic field. Also without volcanism to replenish it's atmosphere, the solar winds eroded it away until almost nothing remains. Any liquid water on it's surface would have evaporated away, been broken down by UV light and lost into space...

I always thought the Hellas Basin looked like a HUGE crater. I think that a very large object hit Mars when it had an atmosphere, and moved the molten Iron core near the surface, creating the Tharsis buldge. then the core, much smaller shifted back, and the magnetic properties were much degraded. This along with HUGE volcanos blowing gases and atmosphere off caused Mars to become what it is today.

likely the most interesting story covered on this channel.

So we are a "living" Mars? Seems as though our time is limited.

I have an hypothesis that it is geothermal heat that keeps water on the Earth's surface. For example, water is taken into the crust at subduction zones and then rises in magma to the surface where it is emitted in volcanoes. The volumes of known groundwater are very large and I note the recent discovery of an estimated 2/3 of Earth's water in the mineral Ringwoodite in the lower mantle. If this is the case then the much of the water on Mars may have been absorbed into the Martian sub-surface as the source of geothermal heat reduced. Perhaps the rest was then driven away by the solar wind as stated in the video. Interested in Nasa's views

Perhaps the original moon to circle Mars was broken in two & that meant there wasn't enough pull to generate the same type of geomagnetic pull we have from our moon. If one of the remaining moons was larger it would give the same tidal pull we get.

Many millions of years ago in the solar system was common the collisions between asteroids and the bombing of planets were the order of the day. The Earth may have had more luck by having a shield like the Moon. In addition the two pieces of rock that orbit Mars (Phobos and Deimos) may contain clues of those cataclysms, I think we should take samples there.

So my Question is, What would the Scientist can get after they Discover the Past History or Discover that water Once flow in mars? If they can turn it back?

great videos

It's pretty obvious. Mars doesn't have the mass to hold on to it's lighter gases. Anymore questions??.........

0:30 - Perhaps Mars was the first "life filled" planet, and Earth was the second.

How much larger does Mars need to be (gravity wise) to hold onto enough atmosphere to be a comfortable world for humankind? Lets say a few large asteroids and comets to bring it water and hold it? Lets say we aimed a few of those at it over 100 years? Then we polute the place with industry to make C02 (we're good at that on this world). There is an asteroid belt nearby with enough material to get the job done.

Within a very short time, Mars was uninhabitable to its once-proud third-dimensional populations. Where the trade and triumph of empire had sent its armies and caravans, empty winds raged and blew chilling blasts of red sand. Everywhere the evil red sand drifted, covering shattered monuments where no one any longer breathed any kind of air but that which was radioactively poisoned. As you tell about, Earth is on the brink of a similar scenario.

Is there life on Mars?

Los felicito pero como me gustaria ,que me mandaran informacion pero en LATIN o ver todo pero en Latin .Ya que cuanto me gustaria comversar con ellos. Ya que he Muerto varias veses ya que an pasado.

Loss of atmosphere is irrelevant compared to WHY Mars lost it's magnetic field. The magnetic field on earth is weakening and the pole is moving away from the axis. Rumor claims a pole-shift phenomena but not for a while yet. The problem is if our field is weak for too long between pole shifts - how do we hang onto our atmosphere. China isn't helping either.

the magnectic field died when the core solidified. The sloar wind couldve been blown away by solar winds.

You rock NASA!

It is only mystery for those who do not know planetary evolutions. If one knows the correct version it is normal process for space bodies go through this changes. when the internal process of mars return to normal equilibrium the atmosphere will build up and magnetic filed will join to become one main global similar to earth. my experience of politic is that they don’t want to know. they like to discover the wheel again and again.

If that's the case and that's how Mars lost its water why it only happened to Mars and not earth

What caused the sun to destroy mars?(inaccurate question?) How about, what caused mars destruction? Was it global warming?

interesting

Sooo...I guess NASA isn't gonna tell us what happened to Mars when Comet ISON flew past it on October 1st....smh...the secrets they keep from us -__-

Our earth become like this very soon. after some billion years later some creatures like us would send some satellite or airships to find out how is the earth.and then those creatures would say ,what we saying now about mars.

Pudimos vivir en marte millones de años antes? Porqué siempre hablamos de marcianos, será porque está en nuestro subconsciente?

It is video showing the transformation of would be lively atmosphere like our earth to waste land atmosphere of today during 4 billion of years

mars is our far future :)

I know because God created the earth only the third planet, after all remember the trinity, just as the sun and moon, the earth sun and moon resemble the trinity created in Genesis.

Fifth.
