Our new study, published today in Nature Geoscience, reports the existence of large deposits of transient morning frost at the top of volcanoes in a region of Mars called Tharsis, which includes ...

The team analyzed meteorites from a large space rock designated as NWA7034 or “Black Beauty.” While all Martian meteorites ...

A Chinese Mars rover may have found evidence of an ancient ocean on the arid Red Planet. According to a new paper in the ...

Scientists analyzing the 'Black Beauty' meteorite have discovered a zircon grain that hints at hydrothermal systems on early ...

The Mars rover, built by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), has slowly scaled Mount Sharp since 2014. This mountain, ...

Water in the form of frost has been detected on the highest volcanoes on Mars. Researchers found that the red planet's Tharsis volcanoes - the tallest in the solar system - have "on and off ...

How do you celebrate? With a knockout new image showing off Mars’ massive volcanoes, rugged valleys and ethereal clouds. There’s even a special guest star: a moon. The European Space Agency ...

Scientists have made a surprising discovery about Mars by playing with muck in the laboratory. An international team of researchers wondered how volcanoes that spew mud instead of molten rock ...

Scientists are still trying to figure out. Like Earth and Venus, Mars has mountains, valleys, and volcanoes, but the red planet’s are by far the biggest and most dramatic. Olympus Mons ...

Yet, the origin of this phenomenon remained elusive until researchers conducted numerical simulations to replicate the microclimate of Mars' volcanoes. These simulations, similar to those used in ...
