New experiments have shown that the core of Mars formed much faster than Earth's core, thanks to molten iron and nickel sulfides seeping down through solid rock and into the center of the Red Planet.

Researchers from Tokyo Institute of Technology claim that analysis of Mars' composition supports the idea that it was originally formed in the asteroid belt, and then migrated to the inner solar ...

A study led by NYU Abu Dhabi’s Space Exploration Laboratory found underground water that turned sand dunes into solid rock, suggesting that Mars may have been habitable for longer than scientists once ...

If you’re a scientist studying the surface of Mars, few discoveries could be more exciting than seeing recent gullies apparently formed by running water. And that’s what scientists believed they saw ...

NASA’s Perseverance rover has made a significant discovery on Mars: a meteorite, which could provide vital clues about the planet’s past and its interactions with space objects. The rover has been ...

SANTA CRUZ, CA–A new study suggests that ancient features on the surface of Mars called valley networks were carved by recurrent floods during a long period when the martian climate may have been much ...

Early in Earth’s history, the heat left over from the collision that formed the Moon left its surface an ocean of magma. As it cooled, its crust was frequently shattered by massive impacts that ...

For centuries – maybe millennia – humans have wondered how Mars gets its red hue, but a recent study has some answers.

Of the more than 74,000 known meteorites – rocks that fall to Earth from asteroids or planets colliding together – only 385 or so stones came from the planet Mars. It’s not that hard for scientists to ...

We've always known Mars as the Red Planet - but it turns out, we may have had the reason why wrong. If so, it could revise ...

We’ve always known Mars as the Red Planet — but it turns out, we may have had the reason why wrong. If so, it could revise much of what we know about the history of our smaller neighbor planet. In a ...
