📍 How it ended
Scientists discovered evidence of vast, hidden magma systems inside Mars using seismic data. The findings indicated that ancient Mars hosted complex deep-earth volcanism and a melt-depleted lower crust.

What happened
Scientists have detected evidence of vast magma systems hidden beneath the surface of Mars. The findings suggest that Mars once had complex deep-earth volcanism, challenging previous assumptions about the planet's geological activity.
Coverage from Nautilus, Labroots, The Independent, Yahoo, ScienceAlert, Nature, and Phys.org highlights the seismic data that led to this discovery. The research indicates that Mars' lower crust is melt-depleted, with magmatism occurring across the crust.
Future developments may include further analysis of the seismic data and potential missions to explore these magma systems in more detail.
