Billions of years ago, the solar wind deprived the atmosphere and could be life on Mars.
Scientists at NASA recently came up with the idea of turning Mars into a life-like planet again through a simulator. They use a magnetic shield strong enough to replace the one that once existed around Mars. From there, allowing the planet to recreate its atmosphere and facilitate germination.
In his report, NASA Director of Planetary Science, Jim Green wrote: " This magnetic field will eliminate the effects of the solar wind on Mars' ionosphere, allowing the atmosphere on this planet. gradually increase the pressure and temperature over time " .
Although the research team admits that this plan is very difficult to do, they believe that the available research on how to protect astronauts and spacecraft from cosmic radiation could turn into a larger scale, can even cover an entire planet, in this case Mars.
Mr Green said: " We need to navigate from the school so that it always pushes the solar wind away ." In their simulation system, scientists show that if the solar wind is counteracted by a magnetic shield, the Martian atmosphere will be preserved and will gradually equal to half the climate pressure. on Earth after only a few years.
The Martian climate will be about 4 degrees warmer if the atmosphere here becomes thicker. This is large enough to melt carbon dioxide ice located on the North pole of the Red planet. At that time, the amount of carbon released will retain heat on Mars, just like how carbon retains heat on Earth, causing a greenhouse gas effect. If this happens, the ice on Mars melts, creating water, rivers and oceans on the planet.
This is a method that helps the climate on Mars form naturally, not artificially based on the physical knowledge that people know.
Currently, scientists are studying and calculating more clearly the success rate and estimated time to make real climate effects on Mars.
If this plan is possible and successful, the prospect of a planet that can live right in this solar system of humans will not be far away.
