A climate change theory for Earth can be applied to Mars and possibly to other Earth-like planets, report a Brown geoscientist and two colleagues in the Sept. 26 issue of Nature. Orbital forcing of ...

NASA's Perseverance rover has accidentally detected lightning-like electrical discharges on Mars, a breakthrough in ...

It’s a long way from Tempe to Jupiter, but a thermal camera built at Arizona State University is on its way. First though, it made a crucial detour at Mars, millions of miles from the quiet lab where ...

Mars’s Coloe Fossae reveals a landscape shaped by ancient ice ages, with deep valleys, cratered terrain, and frozen debris ...

A team of researchers from the CSIC-INTA Astrobiology Centre in Madrid has confirmed that the type of mineralogical composition on the surface of Mars influences the measuring of its temperature. The ...

As we travel from Mars’s equator toward the planet’s northern regions, we arrive at Coloe Fossae. This landscape is characterized by long, shallow grooves that cut across an area filled with steep ...

Scientists believe they have recorded electrical activity in the Martian atmosphere for the first time, suggesting the planet ...

China's Zhurong Mars rover has found evidence of a dramatic shift in Mars' climate 400,000 years ago, in the form of dark ridges laid on top of bright dunes that ripple across the sands of Utopia ...

The climate of early Mars is a subject of debate. While it has been thought that Mars had a warm and wet climate like Earth, other researchers have suggested early Mars might have been largely ...

Taken as a whole, these results a giving us a clearer picture of Mars as a habitable world." The presence of long-term wet environments, such as evidence of ancient lakes on Mars, is well-documented, ...

The gravitational pull Mars exerts on Earth may be strong enough to impact ocean currents. A study suggests Mars can cause deep-sea currents to change over a 2.4 million-year cycle. The study could ...
