More than 3 billion years ago, Mars intermittently had liquid water on its surface. After the planet lost much of its ...
Fluid-rock interactions on ancient Mars may have produced abundant magnetic minerals that preserved unusually intense records ...
Qi Zhang, a doctoral student at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics and Umeå University, explores in her doctoral thesis ...
Mars' atmosphere moves differently from Earth's due to gravity waves. These waves affect air circulation at high altitudes.
Understanding how air moves across a planet is key to predicting its weather and climate. On Earth, these patterns shape ...
A new study by researchers including those at the University of Tokyo revealed that atmospheric gravity waves play a crucial ...
A study suggests Mars takes its red hue from a type of mineral that forms in cool water, which could reveal insights about ...

A recent study of data from multiple missions shows the Red Planet may get its name from an iron mineral that formed when ...
Our study reveals that ferrihydrite formation on Mars required the presence of both oxygen — whether from the atmosphere or other sources — and water capable of reacting with iron.” ...
The findings, based on long-term atmospheric data, offer a fresh perspective on the behaviors of Mars' middle atmosphere, highlighting fundamental differences from Earth's. The study applied ...
