"Elsewhere on Mars, rocks like these are probably some of the most important outcrops we've seen from orbit because they are just so hard to form," Horgan said. "You need so much water that we think ...

Mars' north pole contains a large ice cap made up of many layers of frozen water. Like ice cores on Earth, those layers offer a tantalizing record of climate on Mars over the past several million ...

A research team led by Prof. Tan Peng from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed the temperature regulation mechanism of lithium-Mars ...

A schematic of temperature measurements shows how it is 40 degrees Celsius colder inside the north polar vortex (indicated by the yellow line) compared to outside the vortex. A rare glimpse into the ...

Scientists have found that ancient Martian lakes could have survived for decades despite freezing air temperatures. Using a newly adapted climate model, researchers showed that thin, seasonal ice ...
