NASA’s Perseverance rover captured an unusual image of something lying in the red sand of Mars: a bundle of string. The rover’s front left hazard avoidance...
Nobody would have guessed it, but there is a massive amount of water, most likely in the form of ice, just beneath the floor of Mars’...
As part of a team of collaborators from Northern Arizona University and Johns Hopkins University, NAU PhD candidate Ari Koeppel recently discovered that water was once...
Water is essential for life on Earth and other planets, and scientists have found ample evidence of water in Mars’ early history. But Mars has no...
Since early 2019, researchers have been recording and analysing marsquakes as part of the InSight mission. This relies on a seismometer whose data acquisition and control...
Chinese researchers want to send more than 20 of China’s largest rockets to practice turning away a sizable asteroid – a technique that may eventually be...
China’s Zhurong rover has sent back a batch of new images from Mars – including a “selfie”. The robot, which landed in May, positioned a wireless...
Ingenuity, NASA’s robotic helicopter stationed on Mars, has traveled to a new ‘airfield’ on the Red Planet’s surface, straying several hundred feet from its original base...
Radar data collected by ESA’s Mars Express point to a pond of liquid water buried under layers of ice and dust in the south polar region...
Scientists taking a new look at older data from NASA’s longest-operating Mars orbiter have discovered evidence of significant hydration near the Martian equator — a mysterious...
Planets grow by a process of accretion — a gradual accumulation of additional material — in which they collisionally combine with their neighbours. This is often...
