Martian chaos created by craters, lava, and water was observed by the European Space Agency’s Mars Express in the Shalbatana ...

Scientists are especially interested in regions like Shalbatana Vallis because they preserve evidence that Mars was once far ...

A newly identified region on Mars may hold the key to future human landings. Researchers found evidence of water ice less than a meter beneath the surface, close enough to be harvested for water, ...

Perseverance rover data shows Jezero Crater once held a calm lake, leaving behind mudstones rich in organic-linked minerals. The presence of iron-phosphate and iron-sulfide nodules suggests processes ...

The Mars Express orbiter has kept an eye on an elongated cloud above Arsia Mons volcano for the last few years. The cloud is reoccurring, grows incredibly fast and is "made up of water ice," according ...

The Curiosity rover has uncovered the most diverse array of organic molecules ever found on Mars, including seven that had never been detected before on the red planet. These carbon-containing ...

Researchers identified a species that can survive radiation, extreme heat and simulated Martian soil, posing a new challenge for protocols intended to keep the red planet pristine. By Emily ...

While scouring a 50-million-year-old crater on Mars, the Curiosity rover stumbled upon a polygon-shaped pattern that sort of looks like a giant reptile had shed its skin across the planet’s surface.

After drilling a rock sample from a spot on Mars nicknamed “Mary Anning,” NASA’s Curiosity rover took this selfie on October 25, 2020. Now, that sample has revealed organic molecules that have never ...

Europe's Mars orbiter has captured high-resolution images of an ancient sea bed on the Red Planet, revealing that Mars' appearance can change over a matter of decades. The High Resolution Stereo ...
