There is new proof that Mars used to be a wet planet, a cold world with water and snow

The European Space Agency's (ESA) ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter satellite has discovered a strange structure they call the "martian spider mark".

The rover's pictures and the lander's recordings of the first sounds of Martian winds are helping us learn more about our friend in space

Discover the complexities of launching a spacecraft from Mars and bringing samples back to Earth, as NASA seeks cost-effective solutions

Gkids has acquired North American rights to Mars Express, the French animated feature from first-timer Jérémie Perin, which was an official selection this year of both Cannes and Annecy....

Over the past few months the MARS team has been teasing a new FPGA-based system: Multi Arcade & Retro System. The concept is similar to the MiSTer, but running on its own custom, more powerful hardware. They're expecting to launch it early next year at a $700 price point...

You might not think there’s much to smell in space — but, according to the odor lab’s manager, Susana Tapia-Harper, space missions are known for getting pretty ripe....

In 1996, Independence Day became the highest grossing movie of the year, cementing Will Smith as a leading man, turned director Roland Emmerich into one of Hollywood’s top names, and solidifying the alien invasion movie as the ideal summer blockbuster spectacle. But another alien invasion film came out in 1996, one with the...

From Harvard: "The Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (HI-SEAS) habitat is a lunar and Martian analog research station located on the active volcano Mauna Loa in Hawaii [1]. Missions that take place at HI-SEAS are open to space agencies, organizations and companies worldwide to take part in, provided their research...

One researcher hypothesizes that experiments carried out by NASA's Viking landers in 1976 could have inadvertently killed microbes living in Martian rocks. Other experts are skeptical.

Designed by researchers at Bangor University, Trisofuel could help provide energy not only on the moon and Mars, but both here on Earth.

When it comes to building a sustainable settlement on Mars, the technological and engineering challenges are steep. But they take a back seat to the Human Resources department. Forget sophisticated vehicles or sensitive instrumentation—the most temperamental, fragile things we send to the Red Planet will be humans....

New research suggests the same conditions that created the cracks could have been favorable to the emergence of microscopic life. Scientists aren’t entirely sure how life began on Earth, but one prevailing theory posits that persistent cycles of wet and dry conditions on land helped assemble the

'We now have for the first time vestiges of times that could have been conducive to the origin of life.'

Giant cliffs that encircle Olympus Mons formed when lava flowing down the volcano encountered deep water.

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover sealed the tube containing its 20th rock core sample on June 23 (the 832nd Martian day, or sol, of the mission), and the mission's science team is excited about its potential. That's because this sample was drilled by the rover from an outcrop composed of tiny chunks of other rocks that were...

"They look very Earth-like, but they're on Mars, so how could they form there?"

Zhurong spotted telltale patterns in Martian dunes.

Pretending to be on Mars for science does come with a salary.

In one experiment, the Viking landers added water to Martian soil samples. That might have been a very bad idea.

Lighting from two times of day was combined for a stunning view of terrain that the rover is leaving behind.
