Mars north polar ice found far cleaner than scientists believed
Original: Scientists Thought Mars's North Polar Ice Was 25% Dust. They Were Way Off https://gizmodo.com/scientists-thought-marss-n
New research indicates Mars's north polar ice cap contains far less dust than the roughly 25 percent scientists long assumed. The finding, covered by Gizmodo, changes estimates of how much water ice is locked up at the Martian north pole and refines models of the planet's climate and geological history.
Why now: A new study overturned a long-standing assumption about the composition of Mars's polar ice, drawing attention from space and science audiences.
