Nearly a decade’s worth of data went into the first direct observation of sputtering on Mars, which researchers believe ...

In a nutshell Mars’ missing atmosphere may not have escaped to space as previously thought. Instead, it likely underwent a ...

Mars’s atmosphere is thin and made up of primarily carbon dioxide. When condensed by cool temperatures and mixed together with dust and water vapour, it can create striking cloud patterns.

Back in 2013 American space agency NASA launched something called the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft. The role of the Lockheed Martin-built piece of hardware is to study ...

Mars' missing atmosphere may be locked up in the planet's clay-rich surface, a new study by MIT geologists has suggested.. According to the researchers, ancient water trickling through Mars' rocks ...

To truly understand how Mars’ atmosphere has changed over the years, researchers took a closer look at nine years’ worth of data. NASA’s Curiosity rover taking a selfie on Mars.

New research suggests the atmosphere of Mars may be hiding in plain sight, having been absorbed by minerals in the Red Planet's clays. If Mars' envelope of gas did "go to ground" over 3 billion ...

They found that the quantity of clay covering the Martian surface could hold up to 1.7 bar of CO 2, which would be equivalent to around 80% of the planet’s early atmosphere. “In some ways ...

For a hypothetical simulation of what Mars may have looked like billions of years ago, the team created a model of Mars’ crust, atmosphere, ...

Ancient Mars may had been teeming with microscopic organisms, according to a study. However, it also suggests long-term habitability is limited in the universe.

Over three billion years ago, Mars was warm and wet, with large bodies of water on its surface and a thicker atmosphere. Today, however, Mars is desolate, cold and dry.

Mars used to have a thick, robust atmosphere, or at least that’s what scientists think they know about the history of the Red Planet. Solar … ...
