N-reaction gave Mars its red colour.



Have you ever wondered why Mars is so red? This could have been due to a natural nuclear reaction on the red planet, says a scientist.

"The Martian surface is covered with radioactive substances. A nuclear explosion could have sent debris around the planet."
