Scientists identified an iron-rich mineral on the surface of Mars that suggests the planet’s surface may be more dynamic than ...

The gravity data shows several mysterious features hidden below the surface. These features, scattered across the plains, are dense enough to alter Mars’ gravitational field even as they remain ...

A deceptive difference having to do with Earth's and Mars's gravity may be the reason why NASA's rovers get stuck in the ...

Launched in October 2024, Europa Clipper is on a 1.8-billion-mile (2.9-billion-kilometer) journey to study Jupiter and its moons. On March 1, it flew within 550 miles (884 kilometers) of Mars' surface ...

In lower gravity environments, such as Mars, the potassium-39 is more easily lost to space, leaving behind a higher ratio of the heavier isotope, potassium-41.

Using open-source software, experts at the University of Wisconsin–Madison figured out a testing flaw that often led to ...

The Mars flyby in March was primarily to use the planet's gravitational pull to tweak the Europa Clipper's trajectory.

And it's exactly such an instance of glaciers leaving a footprint on the surface of Mars that we have here. It's an image of an undisclosed location up there, snapped from high up in orbit (297 km ...

According to National Geographic, even though Mars is less than half the size of Earth with gravity only 38% as strong, its land mass area is roughly equivalent to that of Earth’s continental surface ...
