Turkish and American scientists affiliated with the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are investigating the chemical composition of the water and sediments of Lake Salda in Yeşilova district of Burduri in order to understand the geological history of Mars and climate change in the world. planet.

This was reported by Ukrinform with reference to TRT Haber.

The leader of the research said, “If we use the data obtained from the samples we collected from Earth and conduct similar studies on real materials from Mars and reveal similarities, then we can start to make inferences specifically about the atmosphere of Mars.” The research team was led by University of California Timothy Lyons Prof.

The scientist stated that he used the history of the formation of the Earth to discover life on other planets. outside the solar system. Research funding is led by NASA.

Professor Lyons also noted that Lake Salda is a unique place due to the chemical composition of the water, its acidity and terrestrial rocks similar to those on Mars. Scientists hope that the research will help understand the geological history of Mars and the processes related to climate change on this planet.

As Ukrinform reports, this year the James Webb space telescope celebrated its first full year, during which it took many unique photographs.
