"Dust devils themselves are difficult to capture in images because they are so short-lived," Ingrid Daubar, a planetary ...

A close-up of Mars taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. New research suggests that the red planet may be too small to have ever had large amounts of surface water.

Due to extreme temperatures and the dryness of Mars, it's thought to be impossible for liquid water to form on the planet's surface, a critical precondition for habitability. The only hope of finding ...

Learning about the interior of a planet like Mars isn’t just an abstract curiosity. Indeed, to understand topics from a planet’s atmosphere to its history, we need to understand its interior.

Abstract: Orbital and surface observations can shed light on the internal structure of Mars. NASA’s InSight mission allows mapping the shallow subsurface of Elysium Planitia using seismic data.

Not every unusual surface feature is a sign of water on Mars, and studies like this one help clarify where and how we continue our search for signs of life. In space exploration, ...

New research suggests Mars could have enough water under its surface to form a global ocean. On Monday, scientists released their findings, which are based on seismic measurements captured from ...

The surface of Mars is weird and beautiful. For six years now, since its landing on August 5, 2012, the Mars Curiosity rover has been exploring one area of our next-planet neighbor. Curiosity has ...

Smectites, cover a large portion of Mars’ surface, mostly in the southern hemisphere, says Smith. Therefore, it's not at all surprising to find clays at the south pole.

Abstract ADVANTAGE has been taken of the recent very favourable opposition of Mars to make a close examination of the surface features. The 9 in. Cooke photo-visual refractor has been employed ...
