Hubble Space Telescope and MAVEN mission have been used to help unravel the mystery of Mars' escaping water. Credit: NASA ...

Martian glaciers are mostly pure ice across the Red Planet, suggesting they might potentially be useful resources for any ...

Water ice can be turned to liquid water and leveraged to generate oxygen and hydrogen, which have myriad potential uses.

Scientists used the SHAllow RADar (SHARAD) instrument on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to study the glaciers.

The camera moves slowly over a surface that seems deserted and silent. There is no visible life, only dusty terrain ...

Mars was once rich with flowing water. Today, it's a cold, dusty desert marked by dried riverbeds and empty lake basins.

The Mars water debate continues. A team of scientists suggests vast oceans of water may not be locked within the Red Planet's crust, despite InSight lander data.

On Earth, that trio — hydrogen, oxidants and shuffling iron — can sustain microbes living far below the surface and far from ...

Although Mars is generally dry and cold (with temperatures as low as -225 degrees Fahrenheit, or -153 degrees Celsius) small amounts of water from potential ice, underground sources, or humidity ...

For years, scientists have puzzled over how Mars lost the thick atmosphere it once had. That atmosphere was essential for liquid water to exist on the planet’s surface, billions of years ago.

Given that modern Mars is dry and arid, with temperatures rarely climbing above the freezing point of water, the origin of these streaks has long been a topic of heated debate.

Mars Express’ analysis of the dust’s mineralogy helped show how even highly dusty regions of Mars have water-rich minerals. Additionally, TGO’s unique orbit allows it to view the same region ...
