The core of the Red Planet may be filled with sulfur. New experiments have shown that the core of Mars formed much faster ...
Scientists from multiple institutions have found that Mars likely never developed a solid inner core during its early history. This new research, published in Geophysical Research Letters ...
Beneath the mantle is a liquid iron outer core and solid iron inner core. Because Earth and Mars are both rocky planets, and might have even had similar surface conditions billions of years ago ...
Scientists have identified another possible commonality between Earth and Mars: a solid inner core. Scientists have identified another possible commonality between Earth and Mars: a solid inner core.
while the inner core is solid and mostly made of iron. The scientists say it is possible that Mars’ lower mantle may also be molten, which would affect the size and shape of the core.
Yan said that the one-sided magnetic field could arise if Mars' inner core was liquid. In the study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, the researchers used a computer simulation ...
The new study indicates that Mars’ magnetic field may not have been entirely similar to Earth’s because of the planet's presumably liquid core. “The logic here is that with no solid inner core, it’s ...
Back then, NASA estimated the Moon’s solid inner core was roughly 240 km in radius ... A Hidden Ocean Is Lying Deep Within Mars Crust ...
which allows the inner core to rotate at a different speed from the rotation of the Earth itself. With a radius of almost 2,200 miles, Earth’s core is about the size of Mars. It consists mostly ...
Yan said that the one-sided magnetic field could arise if Mars' inner core was liquid. "The logic here is that with no solid inner core, it's much easier to produce hemispheric (one-sided ...
Mars may have a solid inner core within its liquid outer core, according to a new analysis of the planet’s seismic activity. This could help solve several enigmas about Martian geology – but ...
