models suggest that pole-facing slopes greater than 14° in this region could have temperatures capable of harboring water ice

Mars having had a liquid core (as opposed to Earth’s solid core) with significant differences in initial temperatures between the northern and southern halves of the planet’s mantle

orbits two brown dwarf stars simultaneously, and very unusually, it does so in a polar orbit perpendicular to its stars’ orbital plane
