Whenever humans arrive on Mars, they're going to find it a difficult place to exist. Mars is cold, with an average surface temperature of -55°C; temperatures can plunge to -125°C with dust storms lasting months;

Scientists studying Mars rocks have found a metal-rich mineral. This raised news question about whether the red planet once had conditions suitable for ancient life.

An accounting of all the water that should have been and gone on Mars’s surface has come up with a discrepancy that shows just how little we understand the Red Planet’s hydrological history

The surface of Mars carries many traces of a past watery climate, including ancient river channels, deltas, and paleolakes. Indeed, observations from space provide evidence for the existence of minerals possibly left behind as Mars’ atmosphere was gradually lost to space and its surface dried up.

Mars may look like a frozen desert today, but new evidence suggests its watery past didn’t simply fade away quietly—it may have been blasted into space by powerful dust storms. Scientists have discovered that even relatively small,

Data from NASA's InSight mission suggests the Red Planet's Tharsis region is more active than previously thought and may be why Mars is spinning more quickly over time.

This could help explain a lot. The post Scientists Intrigued by “Negative Mass Anomaly” Under Surface of Mars appeared first on Futurism.

Cone you believe this? The mysterious party hat-shaped object on Mars which perplexed experts has been identified as a naturally occurring rock shape, attributed to the Martian winds which have been known to produce other exotic,

The criteria for finding an Earth-like planet unofficially comes down to two things: water and the habitable zone. But a phenomenon known as atmospheric escape often "escapes" the minds of many astronomy fans,
