A recent study of data from multiple missions shows the Red Planet may get its name from an iron mineral that formed when ...
A new study claims that a mineral found in Mars' dust called ferrihydrite, which forms in the presence of cool water, is ...
A study suggests Mars takes its red hue from a type of mineral that forms in cool water, which could reveal insights about whether Mars was ever able to support life.
A groundbreaking study, financed in part by NASA, reveals the mystery behind Mars' iconic red color, linking it to the presence of water-rich iron mineral ferrihydrite, suggesting a cooler, wetter, ...
Mars' atmosphere moves differently from Earth's due to gravity waves. These waves affect air circulation at high altitudes.
Ferrihydrite typically forms quickly in the presence of cool water and so must have formed early on ancient Mars when the planet was still wet. "We are not the first to consider ferrihydrite as ...
The new analysis points to a different type of iron oxide that contains water called ferrihydrite, which forms quickly in cool water — and likely formed on Mars when water could still exist on ...
