It was one of the most provocative findings of the past decade in planetary science: a potential underground lake of liquid water beneath Mars’ South Pole. First reported in 2018 by a team using the ...

NASA scientists say they may have finally identified an unusual feature hidden beneath thousands of feet of ice near the ...

Searching for water on Mars often feels like chasing a flicker of hope in a cold and quiet world. You read about dried ...

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

Mars’s Coloe Fossae reveals a landscape shaped by ancient ice ages, with deep valleys, cratered terrain, and frozen debris ...

Skylights, openings in the surface of Mars that descend down into caves, have been found on Mars, along with signatures for ...

Coloe Fossae was shaped by powerful tectonics, which stretched and cracked Mars's crust, causing chunks of ground to collapse ...

Ancient Mars boasted abundant water, but the cold and dry conditions of today make liquid water on the Red Planet seem far ...

We were as excited as anyone when MARSIS (the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding) experiment announced there was possibly liquid water under the southern polar ice cap. If ...

On the flanks of Martian mountains and crater rims, curious shapes sprawl outward like thick syrup frozen mid-flow. But these are not rivers of rock or lava. They’re massive glaciers, hidden under ...

Life doesn’t always need sunlight. In fact, in some of the coldest, darkest places in the solar system, the spark for life might come from something far more extreme: cosmic rays. A new study led by ...
