Mars may be smaller than Earth, but new research suggests it outpaced our planet when it came to forming its core. Scientists from NASA’s Johnson Space Center have uncovered evidence that Mars’ ...

Although Mars is currently a cold, dry planet, geological evidence suggests that liquid water existed there around 3 to 4 billion years ago. Where there is water, there is usually life. In their quest ...

During the formation of the Solar System Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun, was repeatedly struck by planetesimals (these are small protoplanets no larger than 1,200 miles in diameter). A few ...

How did young volcanoes on Mars form? This is what a recent study published in the journal Geology hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the complex geological processes responsible ...

Researchers from Tokyo Institute of Technology claim that analysis of Mars' composition supports the idea that it was originally formed in the asteroid belt, and then migrated to the inner solar ...

We’ve always known Mars as the Red Planet — but it turns out, we may have had the reason why wrong. If so, it could revise much of what we know about the history of our smaller neighbor planet. In a ...

Researchers have developed a Martian atmospheric evolution model to propose a new theory about Mars's past. Although Mars is currently a cold, dry planet, geological evidence suggests that liquid ...
