One of my gripes with "The Martian" movie was the depiction of the winds on Mars. The lower air density means that the sort of high speed winds we might experience on Earth carry far less of an impact ...

Researchers have tested a suite of anemometers — tools that measure wind speeds — designed to operate on the surface of Mars. These would not be the first to take the Martian wind speed ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Mars experienced a rare event where the solar wind temporarily disappeared, leading to significant atmospheric changes. During this event, Mars's atmosphere and ...

What can sand dunes on Earth and Mars teach us about the latter’s wind behavior and atmosphere? This is what a recently ...

A NASA satellite has spotted frozen "kidney beans" on Mars' sand dunes trapped in place until springtime. Photographing them can help us determine if there was ever enough water on Mars to sustain ...

Reports are growing of a weapon that could threaten even the most advanced enemy aircraft, with hypersonic speeds posing great risks.

Both are likely the result of weathering and wind erosion. NASA's Mars Perseverance rover acquired this image using its Right Mastcam-Z camera on June 13, 2022 ... [+] (Sol 467) at the local mean ...

Scientists confirm the existence of liquid water on Mars, altering our understanding of the Red Planet. Evidence of wave ...

Conditions at the surface of Mars are enigmatic and complex and have varied substantially over the course of the planet’s history. The roles of erosion, transport and chemical weathering in ...

Life on Mars is looking more viable each day. A new study based on a NASA climate model suggests that using wind energy is a viable way to power human missions to the Red Planet. The NASA research ...

Researchers have discovered two sets of ancient wave ripples on Mars, signatures of long-dried ... in the sandy shores of lakebeds, created as wind-driven water laps back and forth.

The lines were later revealed to be illusory, perhaps caused by streaks of dust carried by the wind. For life to exist on Mars, there must be liquid water. There is plenty of water on Mars ...
