- Title
The Mars Enigma.
- Abstract
The article discusses the study conducted by a group of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University on the climatic aspects in Mars. The planet is being warmed by a greenhouse effect caused by carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. According Maria T. Zuber, a researcher at MIT, the key to the planet's mystery is not carbon dioxide, but rather sulfur dioxide. The researchers also state that the Mars rover Opportunity made them think how that acidic environment could have survived.
