'''''(background information):''''' Opportunity discovered manganese oxygens on Mars. These require oxygen to form. Some researchers have suggested they formed in an early Mars atmosphere that was thick and oxygen rich (whichnot doesn'tnecessarily requiredue to life; - it could for instance be oxygen rich due to ionizing radiation splitting water).

Their research gives an alternative explanation for the presence of these minerals, suchby asconcentrating the manganeseminute oxides which require conditionstraces of water and oxygen toin form.the atmosphere Thisinto newthe reseach shows that these minerals could also form without an oxygen rich atmospherewater.
