These studies show that Mars is bombarded by meteorites far more often than previously thought — about 2.5 times more frequently. It also shows that seismic waves from these impacts can travel faster and deeper through the planet than expected, following what researchers call a “seismic highway” through Mars’ crust and mantle.
New research shows that Mars' atmosphere behaves differently from Earth's, with gravity waves, rather than Rossby waves, playing a dominant role. This discovery challenges existing models and may lead to more accurate weather predictions for future Mars missions.
Mars’ thick crust may have been a hidden engine of geological activity, producing granitic magmas and sustaining underground water reservoirs. A new study suggests that radioactive heating in the plan
Mars' red color comes from water-driven oxidation, not dry hematite. New research reveals ferrihydrite's role, rewriting the timeline of Mars' wet history and potential life.
Meteorite Contains Evidence of Liquid Water on Mars 742 Million Years Ago Nov. 13, 2024 — An asteroid struck Mars 11 million years ago and sent pieces of the red planet hurtling through space.
Go back a mere four billion years, and Mars could have been the perfect destination for a summer holiday. According to scientists, hidden underneath the red planet is evidence that there were once sandy beaches and a large ocean on its surface.
