How did the moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, form and evolve orbiting the Red Planet? This is what a recent study published in Icarus hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated the ...
The observation of small gullies on Mars was one of the more unexpected discoveries of the Mars Observer Camera (MOC) aboard the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft. The characteristics of these gullies ...
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. New experiments have shown that the core of Mars formed much faster than Earth's core, thanks to molten iron and nickel sulfides ...
Mars' strange gullies are not carved by water as once thought. New research shows sand and seasonal carbon dioxide ice are ...
What can sand dunes on Earth and Mars teach us about the latter’s wind behavior and atmosphere? This is what a recently awarded NASA grant hopes to address as a PhD student at Texas A&M University ...
NASA’s Curiosity rover has assembled a string of chemical evidence from ancient Martian rocks that, taken together, builds ...
New images from NASA's Curiosity Mars rover show the first close-up views of a region scientists had previously observed only from orbit. The images and data being collected are already raising new ...
Each spring, when the winter frost departs, the bulbous bodies and sprawling legs of “spiders” appear across Mars’ southern hemisphere. They’re known as araneiform terrain, and scientists at NASA’s ...
The early solar system was a chaotic place, with evidence indicating that Mars was likely struck by planetesimals, small protoplanets up to 1,200 miles in diameter, early in its history. Southwest ...
Over two decades since NASA researchers first saw images of mysterious, spider-like formations across the southern hemisphere of Mars, the space agency announced it's recreated the planet's "spiders" ...
Some corners of the internet have been buzzing over a spacecraft-snapped image of a “square” on Mars. The image highlights a geologic formation with a seemingly square-like shape. Alien enthusiasts ...
Mars has a distinct structure in its mantle and crust with discernible reservoirs, and this is known thanks to meteorites that scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and ...
