Images of Mars taken from orbit show thousands of mounds in a region sculpted by water billions of years ago. A robotic mission may investigate the area one day.

The area containing the clay-bearing mounds is geologically connected to Oxia Planum, which is where Rosalind Franklin will be headed when it launches in 2028 in search of past life on Mars. It now seems promising that Rosalind Franklin is indeed heading to a location that gives it the best chance of finding evidence for past Red Planet organisms.

Data collected by NASA's InSight lander suggest that ancient internal processes are responsible for the "Martian dichotomy" that splits the Red Planet into two distinct halves.

In his prepared remarks, Trump, a longtime backer of U.S.-led space exploration and exploitation, singled out Mars and left the moon hanging.

Using syrup and baking soda, research has demonstrated the formation mechanism of rootless cones, small volcanic landforms commonly found on Earth and Mars. The study clarified, through an experimental approach,

With a friend in the White House, the tech billionaire's extraterrestrial ambitions are ready for lift-off - but not everybody is convinced

The findings are the result of the ongoing studies performed by NASA’s Curiosity rover, which has been scouring the red planet since landing in 2012. The latest breakthrough came as scientists were able to analyse ripples on Mars' surface that signified the presence of ancient lake beds.

For instance, Uranus is known as the green planet due to its methane-rich atmosphere. But do you know which planet is known as the red planet of the solar system? If not, let's uncover this mystery together. In this article, we will explore the distinct ...

It’s a term used by astronomers to describe when Earth, Mars and the Sun align. When this happens, Earth sits directly between Mars and the Sun, positioning the red planet directly opposite of the Sun in the sky.

Despite the name, a planetary alignment isn’t when the planets get in a row, it’s when a fair few gather on one side of the Sun. A planetary parade, meanwhile, describes them all being visible in the sky.

An exploding budget and an unraveling schedule spell disappointment for NASA's mission to learn more about Mars's history.

Planets with suns like Wolf 359 are subject to huge blasts of radiation that raise questions about their long-term habitability.
