Blasting 'glitter' into Mars' atmosphere could make it more habitable, say scientists
- Scientists propose warming Mars by injecting engineered particles, similar to glitter, into its atmosphere to trap heat and scatter sunlight, raising temperatures by about 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
- The plan involves releasing tiny rod-shaped particles, called nanorods, at a rate of 30 liters per second, aiming to create conditions for liquid water on Mars.
- This project, developed by researchers from the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of Central Florida, uses Mars' abundant iron and aluminum-rich dust to manufacture reflective nanorods.
