Besides Earth, Mars is the planet that we know the most about, but that doesn't mean there isn't more to discover; Mars can still surprise us.

The thin air of Mars has long been treated as a problem to be solved, a hostile mix of carbon dioxide and dust that stands between human explorers and long-term settlement. A growing body of research ...

Indian scientists have mapped dramatic temperature swings on Mars using Hope spacecraft data, revealing wave-like patterns ...

A new study by researchers including those at the University of Tokyo revealed that atmospheric gravity waves play a crucial role in driving latitudinal air currents on Mars, particularly at high ...

Qi Zhang, a doctoral student at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics and Umeå University, explores in her doctoral thesis the interaction between Mars and the stream of charged particles from the ...

Our Sun constantly releases a stream of high-speed charged particles, known as the solar wind. Unlike Earth, Mars does not have a strong global magnetic field to shield its atmosphere from this flow.

A new study revealed that atmospheric gravity waves play a crucial role in driving latitudinal air currents on Mars, particularly at high altitudes. The findings, based on long-term atmospheric data, ...

It's not entirely clear how neighboring planet Mars went from a presumably life-supporting planet to a place as dead as all others in the solar system. We do know, however, that whatever water and ...

The fact that the cold, dry Mars of today had flowing rivers and lakes several billion years ago has puzzled scientists for decades. Now, researchers think they have a good explanation for a warmer, ...
