That’s because spacecraft observations of the compounds had not identified traces of water, indicating the iron oxide must have appeared after all of Mars’ ancient lakes and rivers had evaporated.

Mars isn’t a bright, fire-engine red, but the iron oxide in its rocks makes it appear redder than other planets, especially ...
