A team of scientists proposed injecting large quantities of Martian dust into the atmosphere to warm the Red Planet by more than 18 degrees Fahrenheit in months, potentially making it habitable.
'It's not that often you get some really quite new, innovative idea for terraforming,' said Colin McInnes, a space engineer, highlighting the novelty and potential of this approach for Mars.
The researchers are exploring using iron and aluminum in dust to engineer rods that could absorb and reflect heat, mimicking the greenhouse effect on Earth and potentially warming Mars.
