[2014] ESKANDER BIERMAN (Jardine 2014-15): Mars Atmosphere

SPACECRAFT INVESTIGATES WHAT HAPPEND TO MARS' ATMOSPHERE.BY CLARA MOSKOWITZ

SummaryMars has a very thin atmosphere compared to Earh's. At one point, the atmosphere was thick and large. NASA wanted to know what happened to the atmosphere and why it was gone. To solve the mystery, NASA sent a space craft called Maven. It will collect data about how gases on Mars are being stripped off the atmosphere.

I have always been fascinated by Space, galaxies and the planets. Believing that Mars had an atmosphere just like Earth is fascinating and maybe a bit scary, because what if this happens to Earth too. What if Earth's atmosphere is stripped off and Earth becomes unhabitable?

Could this Ever Happen to Earth?
