    "description": "When you take a look at Mars, you probably wouldn't think that it looks like a nice place to live. It's dry, it's dusty, and there's practically no atmosphere. But some scientists think that Mars may have once looked like a much nicer place to live, with a thicker atmosphere, cloudy skies, and possibly even liquid water flowing over the surface. So how did Mars transform from a warm, wet world to a cold, barren desert? NASA's MAVEN spacecraft will give us a clearer idea of how Mars lost its atmosphere (and thus its water), and scientists think that several processes have had an impact.Learn more about these processes in the videos below! || ",

One possibility is that Mars lost its early atmosphere, allowing its water to escape into space, and NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft will investigate just that. On September 25, 2013, MAVEN Principal Investigator Bruce Jakosky delivered a presentation at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, discussing NASA's next mission to Mars.

But on Mars, if you were to walk around with a compass it would haphazardly point from one anomaly to another, because the Red Planet does not possess a global magnetosphere. Scientists think that this lack of a protective magnetic field may have allowed the solar wind to strip away the Martian atmosphere over billions of years, and now NASA's MAVEN spacecraft will study this process in detail with its pair of ring core fluxgate magnetometers. || ",

            "description": "Did ancient Mars have a thick atmosphere and cloudy skies? Did liquid water flow on its surface? It's hard to imagine either one on the dry, dusty Mars of today. But scientists think the conditions on Mars could have been quite different before the planet started to lose its atmosphere. Exactly how Mars' atmosphere thinned is still being investigated, but there are several possibilities. One is a process called sputtering, a kind of atomic billiards game in which high-energy particles from the sun collide with molecules in the atmosphere and knock them away. NASA's MAVEN mission, scheduled to launch in 2013, will study why and how quickly the atmosphere surrounding Mars turned into thin air. Watch the video to explore the idea that Mars' once-thick atmosphere sputtered away. || ",
