I'm sure it has something to do with a new understanding of the gasses that make up the atmosphere. /r/science on reddit is a good place to have the announcement broken down after it happens, since lots of people who post regularly really know their shit.

Money goes way farther in space, though.

solar winds blew away the martian atmosphere

I'm finding this announcement much less exciting than the water one
