Professor Roger Wiens of Indiana's Purdue University said his team found over 4,000 small white pebbles and large rocks from Mars' surface. He told Newsweek: "We have known for a long time that ...

Mars’ wispy air (its atmosphere is 100 times thinner than Earth’s) offers virtually no protection. For decades, scientists have manually scoured images of the Martian surface, identifying ...

We’ve mapped nearly all of Mars’ surface from orbit, yet we know less about Earth’s ocean floor — almost 75% remains unmapped in high resolution. This terrestrial blind spot is driving NJIT ...

The instrument uses a suite of techniques to analyze the Martian surface. Now Wiens leads the research team that uses SuperCam’s tools to make discoveries on Mars. Researchers observed the small, pale ...

They then compared their creations to dust from Mars’ surface. The findings change our understanding of Mars and its history. Ferrihydrite lending to Mars' red coloring could mean that there was ...

The result? It appears that the surface under the Martian north pole has not had nearly enough time to fully deform under the weight of the ice. Broquet's group estimates that Mars's north pole ...

Scientists may have solved mystery of Mars' red color Mars' surface is covered by iron oxide minerals in the dust. One of those minerals is ferrihydrite, an iron oxide, which is most responsible ...

While InSight may no longer be collecting data, its resting place on Elysium Planitia continues to offer insights into how dust shapes the Martian surface. “InSight may have gone quiet, but it’s still ...

Mars may have once been a paradise with Earth ... examined data from the layers of soil that comprise the Red Planet’s surface — discovering formations that strongly indicate the presence ...

The rover operated from May 2021 to May 2022 Its radar transmitted high-frequency radio waves The rover probed up to 80 meters (260 feet) beneath the surface China's Zhurong rover, which created ...

Scientists reckon the red hue of Mars might have originated in an earlier period in the planet's past when liquid water was widespread on the surface. The research, published in Nature Communications, ...

On Earth, it is commonly associated with processes like the weathering of volcanic rocks and ash. Until now, its role in Mars' surface composition was not well understood, but the new study suggests ...
