Oct 22, 2016After investigating the upper atmosphere of the Red Planet for a full Martian year, NASA’s MAVEN mission has determined that the escaping water does not always go gently into space. -
Oct 20, 2016The European Space Agency and Roscosmos, the Russian Space Agency, celebrated as their joint satellite ExoMars with its Trace Gas Explorer (TGO) slid into orbit around the red planet. -
Oct 19, 2016New global images of Mars from the MAVEN mission show the ultraviolet glow from the Martian atmosphere in unprecedented detail, revealing dynamic, previously invisible behavior. -
Oct 17, 2016This jumble of eroded blocks lies along the distinctive boundary between the Red Planet’s southern highlands and the northern lowlands, with remnants of ancient glaciers flowing around them. -
Oct 16, 2016A new model of canyon-forming floods suggests that deep canyons can be formed in bedrock by significantly less water than previously thought. -
Oct 14, 2016For the first time, physicists have demonstrated how an asteroid or comet impact could have created Stickney crater without destroying Phobos completely. -
Oct 7, 2016Global dust storms on Mars could soon become more predictable -- which would be a boon for future astronauts there -- if the next one follows a pattern suggested by those in the past. -
Oct 4, 2016Miniaturized scope has power to image tiny samples and find chemical make-up. -
Sep 30, 2016NASA's Curiosity rover has found evidence that chemistry in the surface material on Mars contributed dynamically to the makeup of its atmosphere over time. -
Sep 28, 2016A new study shows that rocks formed by the grinding together of other rocks during earthquakes are rich in trapped hydrogen — a finding that suggests similar seismic activity on Mars may produce enough hydrogen to support life.
