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. According to John Brandenburg, about 180 million years ago, a planet shattering yet naturally occurring nuclear reaction may have wiped out everything on Mars, sending a shockwave that turned the planet into dry sand. "The Martian surface is covered with radioactive substances. A nuclear explosion could have sent debris around the planet."
