Time really does move faster on Mars, but the breakthrough that confirms it did not come from a spacecraft’s stopwatch.

Thanks to Einstein’s relativity, time flows differently on Mars than on Earth. NIST scientists have now nailed down the ...

Time moves differently on Mars — not in the Tibetan philosophy sense of the word, but in a measurable, physics-will-ruin-your-mission kind of way that's giving NASA engineers a real headache. As the ...

On Earth, knowing the time feels simple. Your phone pings the same second as a GPS satellite and an atomic clock in a lab. Everything is wired together so well that you rarely think about the ...

Here on Earth, we take for granted the fact that my watch displays the same time as everybody else's watch does, at least within my time zone. And when you step back and think about it, it is kind of ...

Seismic signals have suggested Mars gets hit by around 300 basketball-sized meteorites every year, providing a new tool for dating planetary surfaces. The new research, led by scientists at Imperial ...

NIST scientists calculated that clocks on Mars would be an average of 477 millionths of a second faster than clocks telling ...
