11、f models we use here on Earth, and theyre having a really hard time doing it. Its difficult to create a warm ancient Mars because the Sun was less brighter then and the whole Solar System was cooler at that time，” said Briony Horgan, an assistant professor of earth, atmosphere and planet sciences at
