The findings potentially solve the paradox of how liquid water seems to have persisted on Mars even when the climate grew too cold.

Ancient shoreline features hint that water on Mars once formed a vast ocean.

Changes in Mars’ axial tilt (obliquity) drive shifts between polar ice caps at low obliquity and widespread mid-latitude glaciation at high obliquity. These cycles result in ice accumulating inside ...
