Report Says Scientists Detected Major Underground Temperature Asymmetry on Mars

A subsurface temperature asymmetry detected with a new technique

Scientists reportedly used a novel technique to detect a major temperature asymmetry beneath the surface of Mars. The report presents the feature as a possible clue to the planet’s evolution and past habitability.

The available material does not establish a prior baseline for Mars’s subsurface temperature pattern.

A report says scientists detected a major temperature asymmetry beneath Mars’s surface using a novel technique.

If supported, the reported subsurface feature could add to scientific understanding of Mars’s physical history and its past habitability.
