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

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

Scientists have long been intrigued by the glaciers on Mars, once believed to be primarily composed of rocky rubble with just ...

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

In an exciting new development in astrobiology, researchers from NYU Abu Dhabi have proposed that life could potentially ...

Mars has a cold, desert-like climate with a thin atmosphere that supports extreme temperature variations, from highs of 68 °F ...

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.

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

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 ...

With the water theory now less likely, scientists have more freedom to explore these zones without that risk. Although this study does not eliminate the possibility of water elsewhere on Mars, it ...

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.

The model estimated Mars's subsurface water distribution down to 2 meters from the surface. Like a sponge, highly absorptive regolith in Mars's mid- and low latitudes retains substantial amounts ...
