Scientists have found that ancient Martian lakes could have survived for decades despite freezing air temperatures. Using a ...

For years, scientists have debated whether Mars could host liquid water beneath its icy surface. Recent radar findings, particularly from the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding ...

If you've ever looked at Mars through a telescope, you probably noticed its two polar ice caps. The northern one is made largely of water ice—the most obvious sign that Mars was once a wetter, warmer ...

Scientists believe modern technology to be crucial in 'supporting sustained missions' on Mars.

The current image of Mars as an arid and hostile desert contrasts sharply with the history revealed by its surface. Channels, ...

An artist's impression of the Mars Express spacecraft probing the southern hemisphere of the planet. Using a satellite to peer beneath layers of dust and ice at Mars’ south pole, scientists have ...

The north pole of Mars is slowly sinking under the weight of an ice cap that only formed within the past few million years. And, in the process, it’s telling us something about what the planet’s ...

This image, combining data from two instruments aboard NASA's Mars Global Surveyor, depicts an orbital view of the north polar region of Mars. The ice-rich polar cap (the quasi-circular white area at ...

Using a satellite to peer beneath layers of dust and ice at Mars’ south pole, scientists have detected a 12-mile-wide span of briny water, a large, stable reservoir akin to lakes buried beneath the ...
