NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has taken a new and much clearer look at a confusing feature hidden deep under the ...

Explosive volcanic eruptions on early Mars may have transported water ice to equatorial regions, according to a modeling study published in Nature Communications. The authors suggest that these ...

For years, scientists have been intrigued by a mysterious signal coming from the icy south pole of Mars. In 2018, a radar instrument called MARSIS, aboard a European Mars orbiter, detected a very ...

Mars’s Coloe Fossae reveals a landscape shaped by ancient ice ages, with deep valleys, cratered terrain, and frozen debris flows preserved from a time when the planet’s climate dramatically shifted.

There is likely no subsurface lake on Mars. New data refutes the thesis of Italian researchers from 2018.

Mid-latitude valleys and crater floors on the Red Planet reveal swirling deposits from ancient glacial flows. Mars may have had its own version of an Ice Age that reshaped parts of the Red Planet and ...

A recent study proposes that future Mars missions should prioritize searching for microbial life or its preserved remains within the planet's ice, rather than in its rocks, clay, or soil. Researchers ...

What can craters on Mars teach scientists about the Red Planet’s climate history? This is what a recent study published in Geology hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated ice buildup ...

Are researchers searching in the wrong locations on Mars to find ancient life? This is what a recent study published in Astrobiology hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated searching in ...

Changes in Mars’ axial tilt (obliquity) drive shifts between polar ice caps at low obliquity and widespread mid-latitude glaciation at high obliquity. These cycles result in ice accumulating inside ...

A recent study examining Martian craters identified that the planet experienced multiple ice ages between approximately 640 and 98 million years ago. This research revealed a consistent pattern ...
