Mars is covered in craters. Most of them are very old. The one you see here is, at most, two years and four months young – certified fresh, in cosmic terms. Scientists keep pretty close tabs on Mars’ ...

NASA has just shared one of its most impressive Mars panoramas to date. Captured by its trusty Curiosity rover, the panorama (below) of the Martian landscape comprises 44 images taken by the rover’s ...

Research led by NASA suggests a habitable past on Mars based on the discovery of minerals in Martian rocks associated with ...

Mars trembles with marsquakes, but not all of them are driven by phenomena that occur beneath the surface—many are the aftermath of meteorite strikes. Meteorites crash down to Mars every day. After ...

How do seismic waves travel within the interior of Mars? This is what two recent studies published in Geophysical Research Letters hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated impacts on ...

Astronomers have traced the origins of 200 meteorites to five impact craters in two volcanic regions on Mars, known as Tharsis and Elysium. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

What new methods can be developed to study the Martian subsurface? This is what a recent study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research Planets hopes to address as an international team of ...

Earth and Mars will, hopefully, never meet, but that doesn't mean they can't engage in a little exchange program. Thanks to the often violent nature of the Solar System, material that has been blasted ...

Mars is home to dust storms, several robots, and as of today, a new crater. Images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) show a fresh impact crater on the surface. Conditions on Mars may ...

In a scientific breakthrough with cosmic implications, researchers have, for the first time, precisely dated the emergence of ...

Ever been late because you misread a clock? Sometimes, the "clocks" geologists use to date events can also be misread. Unravelling Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history with rocks is tricky business. Case ...

78 million years ago, a 1.6 km asteroid slammed into what is now Finland, creating a crater 23 km (14 mi) wide and 750 m deep ...
