Slices from the edge of Mars reveal a layered atmosphere of delicate complexity. A European spacecraft has captured a luminous mille-feuille of dust enveloping the red planet in unprecedented detail.

Massive volcanic eruptions billions of years ago may have made it snow on Mars, leaving thick buried ice near the planet’s ...

Creating a composite photograph of the images taken by the Color and Stereo Surface Imaging System ( CaSSIS) aboard the Trace Gas Orbiter, ESA scientists found that the dust and gas layers of Mars' ...

During that time, it has created the most comprehensive map of the Martian atmosphere and its chemical composition, examined ...

New research shows that dry ice blocks, not water or life, may be responsible for the mysterious gullies carved into Mars’ ...

For the first time, scientists have caught a key driver of the ongoing erosion of the atmosphere of Mars in action. It took more than nine years' worth of satellite data, but a team led by planetary ...

A new study reveals that Mars’ dust devils race across the planet at speeds up to 160 km/h, far exceeding earlier estimates.

All evidence points to Mars having had a carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere billions of years ago, but insufficient carbonates in Martian soil challenge this theory. Now, a new study using data from ...

Mars was once rich with flowing water. Today, it's a cold, dusty desert marked by dried riverbeds and empty lake basins. Traces of ancient streams wind across its surface, hinting at a time when water ...

It's not entirely clear how neighboring planet Mars went from a presumably life-supporting planet to a place as dead as all others in the solar system. We do know, however, that whatever water and ...

ST. LOUIS – From monstrous tsunamis to building-shattering earthquakes to flood-inducing downpours, mother nature is a force to be reckoned with. We’re all tired of this extreme weather here on Earth ...

Creating a composite photograph of the images taken by the Color and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) aboard the Trace Gas Orbiter, ESA scientists found that the dust and gas layers of Mars' ...
