Images of Mars taken from orbit show thousands of mounds in a region sculpted by water billions of years ago. A robotic mission may investigate the area one day.

Mars' southern hemisphere absorbs a lot of the sun's energy during the Red Planet's spring, and that may be causing Mars' dust storms, a new study suggests.

The area containing the clay-bearing mounds is geologically connected to Oxia Planum, which is where Rosalind Franklin will be headed when it launches in 2028 in search of past life on Mars. It now seems promising that Rosalind Franklin is indeed heading to a location that gives it the best chance of finding evidence for past Red Planet organisms.

Data collected by NASA's InSight lander suggest that ancient internal processes are responsible for the "Martian dichotomy" that splits the Red Planet into two distinct halves.

Using syrup and baking soda, research has demonstrated the formation mechanism of rootless cones, small volcanic landforms commonly found on Earth and Mars. The study clarified, through an experimental approach,

In his prepared remarks, Trump, a longtime backer of U.S.-led space exploration and exploitation, singled out Mars and left the moon hanging.

With a friend in the White House, the tech billionaire's extraterrestrial ambitions are ready for lift-off - but not everybody is convinced

The findings are the result of the ongoing studies performed by NASA’s Curiosity rover, which has been scouring the red planet since landing in 2012. The latest breakthrough came as scientists were able to analyse ripples on Mars' surface that signified the presence of ancient lake beds.

For instance, Uranus is known as the green planet due to its methane-rich atmosphere. But do you know which planet is known as the red planet of the solar system? If not, let's uncover this mystery together. In this article, we will explore the distinct ...

The Wolf Moon will reach its peak fullness at 5:27 p.m. Eastern Time on January 13. It will rise in the sky about an hour earlier, at 4:28 p.m. ET, and remain visible until 8:09 a.m. ET the next morning. For those outside the Eastern Time Zone, the timing will vary slightly, but the Wolf Moon will dominate the night skies across the country.

Despite the name, a planetary alignment isn’t when the planets get in a row, it’s when a fair few gather on one side of the Sun. A planetary parade, meanwhile, describes them all being visible in the sky.

As long as Connecticut skies stay clear, residents should be able to see a number of planets as they put on a special celestial show.
