On Mars, a surprise was hiding in plain sight. A tall mound near the edge of Jezero Crater turned out to be something ...

The morphological surface expression of lava tubes on Mars and the Moon is similar to their terrestrial counterpart. ESA / Luca Ricci Lava tubes under the surface of both the moon and Mars are ...

She's also planning to look at high-resolution images from Mars for signs of lava pillars, which would be a telltale sign that the Red Planet once had water. The lava pillars are described in a ...

In the future, scientists could hunt for land-based lava pillars near oceans to learn about the height of ancient seas, or search for such formations on Mars and other planets to determine where ...

The ESA's Mars Express probe has captured a striking image of Deuteronilus Cavus, a crater rich in insights. Located in a ...

The surface of Mars is covered in intriguing features that suggest hints about the planet’s past and the water that once existed on its surface. New research has suggested that some lava-like ...

More interior of the lava tubes. While a "flat floor" may be rare inside lava tubes, both on Earth and Mars, and Martian lava tubes are likely much larger, the interior features should otherwise ...

particularly in identifying biosignatures on Mars and other celestial bodies," Onac said. Given that Martian lava tubes are similarly shielded and likely to contain sulfate-rich minerals ...

Created when molten lava flows under the surface, lava tubes are thought to exist on both Mars and the moon, providing potential shelter for human explorers. Now, new research from engineers at ...

Lava tubes under the surface of both the moon and Mars are large enough to be the homes of planetary bases as humanity further explores the cosmos, a newly published study suggests. The research ...
