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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

When the first Mars colonists hop in their cars and drive around town, they may travel through lava tubes. In a new study from the University of Padova and the University of Bologna, researchers ...

Flowing lava can carve or build paths very much like the riverbeds and canyons etched by water, and this probably explains at least one of the meandering channels on the surface of Mars. These ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 water ...
