(NEW YORK) — Mars is a cold, dry, desert-like planet. But billions of years ago, scientific evidence suggests that it had a thick atmosphere, which kept it warm enough to support flowing water on its ...

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, ...

Data from NASA's MAVEN mission reveals that Mars experiences the Zwan-Wolf effect, a magnetic mechanism previously seen only on Earth.

A NASA rover taking rock samples on Mars has uncovered a plentiful mineral that was invisible to orbiters studying the Red Planet from space. Scientists say the discovery of siderite, a type of iron ...
