For the first time, scientists have mapped vast, continent-scale river drainage systems on Mars — ancient networks that may ...

Long before Mars turned into the frozen desert you see today, water shaped its surface in dramatic ways. Rivers cut through ...

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - New research has led scientists to believe that Mars was very likely a "planet of rivers" and once able to host life. This comes from Benjamin Cardenas of Penn State University who ...

Mars has a new showpiece for planetary scientists, and it looks uncannily like a butterfly frozen mid-flight. A fresh set of ...

Most of Mars’ ancient sedimentary rocks by volume are in wind-eroded sedimentary mounds, but the connections between mound form and wind erosion are unclear. We perform mesoscale simulations of ...

Very interesting article and paper. Plateau retreat, deposition, and and shorelines tend toward a large body of water as an explanation except that rock layers and shorelines also say "no" to that as ...

Spiral troughs found on the surface of Mars are in situ ice-excavated canyons with a total volume 10 times that of the Grand Canyon, making them one of the largest and youngest geologic ...

For decades, we have been imaging the surface of Mars with ever-finer resolution, cataloging a huge range of features on its surface, studying their composition, and, in a few cases, dispatching ...

Mars Express has uncovered geological evidence suggesting that some depositional process, revealed by erosion, has been at work on large scales in the equatorial regions of the planet. If so, this ...

A team of researchers affiliated with multiple institutions in China and one each from Canada and Germany, has found data from the Chinese Mars rover Zhurong over its first 60 sols, showing evidence ...

NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover has spotted strange rock formations on the red planet that appear to have formed into small, twisted towers. A photo of the rock formations was shared on Twitter last month ...

This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows the results of erosion acting upon a layer of material in the south polar region of Mars. The elliptical pit in the lower left ...
