Mars' atmosphere moves differently from Earth's due to gravity waves. These waves affect air circulation at high altitudes.

A new study by researchers including those at the University of Tokyo revealed that atmospheric gravity waves play a crucial ...

Mars has long fascinated scientists for its similarities to Earth, but recent research has uncovered significant differences ...

A new study revealed that atmospheric gravity waves play a crucial role in driving latitudinal air currents on Mars, particularly at high altitudes. The findings, based on long-term atmospheric data, ...

Study coauthor Michael Manga, a professor of Earth and planetary science at the University of California, Berkeley, and his colleagues previously suggested that volcanic activity in the region, as ...

The research also highlights the importance of planetary comparisons in atmospheric science. Mars, with its rotation speed and axial tilt similar to Earth's, offers an ideal case study. However, its ...

How's the weather up there? On Mars, weather forecasts haven't always been right at our fingertips. Now, recent research from ...

as well as a change in Mars’ rotation, altered the shoreline and caused it to be uneven over time. “Because the spin axis of Mars has changed, the shape of Mars has changed. And so what used ...

A Chinese rover found evidence of ancient beaches on Mars, suggesting the planet once had vast oceans 4 billion years ago. The discovery of sloping sand layers beneath the surface provides new ...

He revised that theory in 2017, suggesting that Mars' rotation actually changed while the Tharsis bulge formed, starting about 4 billion years ago. "Because the spin axis of Mars has changed ...

The Falcon 9 rocket is carrying four astronauts who will replace Wilmore and Williams, both of whom are veteran NASA astronauts and retired U.S. Navy test pilots and were the first to fly Boeing's ...
