According to a new study by an international team of planetary scientists, Mars may have had enough water 4.5 billion years ago to cover it in a global ocean up to 300 meters or upto almost 1,000 feet deep.
Along with organic molecules and other elements distributed throughout the Solar System by asteroids and comets at this time, they argue, these conditions indicate that Mars may have been the first planet in the Solar System to support life.
Since 1960s, several missions have been launched to probe the Red Planet.
Today, we take a quick look at few of the most crucial ones that were aimed at Mars.

NASA Discovers Mysterious , Martian 'Hole' That Could , Shelter Future Astronauts.
'LiveScience' reports that scientists have
discovered a mysterious pit on the side
of an ancient volcano on Mars.
The discovery has generated
excitement due to what it may reveal
beneath the Red Planet's surface.
Images of the pit were
first captured by NASA's
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. .
The hole's origins and
depth remain unknown.
This pit, found on an extinct lava flow of Arsia Mons,
appears to be a vertical shaft that scientists
believe could lead to a much larger cavern. .
The pit could also be a deep
lava tube formed at a time when
Arsia Mons was still active.
Due to the thin atmosphere and lack of a magnetic
field, scientists have looked to pits and caves to
potentially shelter astronauts in the future. .
'LiveScience' reports that if Mars ever hosted life, those
organisms may have sheltered in pits like this one, which
could offer protection and even allow life to flourish. .
If future missions reveal that the pit leads to a large
open cave, it could provide the perfect landing
site for crewed missions to Mars in the future.

Bangladesh is in turmoil as violent protests over job quotas escalate, leading to a nationwide curfew and army deployment. Over 4,500 Indian nationals, along with nearly 540 citizens from Nepal, Bhutan, and the Maldives, have been safely evacuated. The Indian High Commission in Dhaka is working tirelessly to ensure the safety of all Indian citizens. Meanwhile, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has offered shelter to distressed Bangladeshis. In a significant development, the Bangladesh Supreme Court has overturned a high court order on job quotas, further fueling the unrest. Tune in for detailed updates and expert analysis.

ESA and China Space Agency , Collaboration Detects Negative Ions , on Dark Side of Moon.
China's Chang'e-6 lunar lander landed on the
dark side of the Moon, successfully gathered
samples and lifted off in just over 48 hours. .
'Futurism' reports that the historic feat resulted in the
first-ever samples collected from the far side of the
Moon, which permanently faces away from the Earth.
The trip also saw the lander deposit several scientific
payloads, including the Negative Ions at the Lunar Surface
(NILS) instrument for the European Space Agency.
This was ESA’s first activity on the
surface of the Moon, a world-first
scientifically, and a first lunar
cooperation with China, Neil Melville, ESA’s technical officer for the experiment, via 'Futurism'.
The moon's lack of a magnetic field makes
the surface extremely vulnerable to charged solar
particles, which create negatively charged ions. .
Before it could make its observations, the NILS instrument
had to be adjusted to the extreme lunar surface conditions,
going through a cycle of reboots and blackouts.
Once it adjusted, the instrument detected negative ions
from solar winds bombarding the Moon's surface and
successfully transmitted back usable data.
We have collected an
amount and quality of data
far beyond our expectations, Neil Melville, ESA’s technical officer for the experiment, via 'Futurism'.
'Futurism' explains that the data could have significant
implications for our understanding of how our celestial
neighborhood deals without having a magnetic field. .
These observations on the Moon will
help us better understand the surface
environment and act as a pathfinder
to explore negative ion populations
in other airless bodies in the
Solar System, from planets to
asteroids and other moons, Martin Wieser, NILS principal investigator, via 'Futurism'
