NASA scientists have found evidence that Mars’ crust is not as dense as previously thought, a clue that could help researchers better understand the Red Planet’s interior structure and evolution. A ...

(CNN) By tracking the gravitational pull on spacecraft over Mars, NASA has created one of the most detailed maps yet of the Red Planet's surface, and what lies beneath. "Gravity maps allow us to see ...

A new map of Mars' gravity made with three NASA spacecraft is the most detailed to date, providing a revealing glimpse into the hidden interior of the Red Planet. "Gravity maps allow us to see inside ...

What did Mars look like billions of years ago? This is what a recent study presented at the Europlanet Science Congress (EPSC) 2024 hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated mysterious ...

The Red Planet's low gravity and lack of magnetic field makes its outermost atmosphere an easy target to be swept away by the solar wind, but new evidence from ESA's Mars Express spacecraft shows that ...

A new analysis of Mars’ gravitational field has revealed hidden structures buried beneath the remains of an ancient ocean. The work, which was presented this week at the Europlanetary Science Congress ...

The first use of a novel method of analyzing Mars' gravitational force supports the idea that the planet once had an extensive northern ocean. In doing so, the method defines the scope of what ...

The idea that Mars could affect Earth’s climate sounds dramatic, since climate change is usually linked to cars, factories, forests, and oceans, not distant planets. Yet Earth is part of a solar ...

Understanding how air moves across a planet is key to predicting its weather and climate. On Earth, these patterns shape ...
