A new study reveals that Mars’ dust devils race across the planet at speeds up to 160 km/h, far exceeding earlier estimates.

Scientists combined 20 years of Mars images to track over 1,000 dust devils, revealing powerful winds that shape the Red Planet’s atmosphere.

Mars’ north polar vortex locks its atmosphere in extreme cold and darkness, freezing out water vapor and triggering a ...

Mars, the red planet, may have a secret energy source in its depths that could support life in its climate, should humans ...

All evidence points to Mars having had a carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere billions of years ago, but insufficient carbonates in Martian soil challenge this theory. Now, a new study using data from ...

It's not entirely clear how neighboring planet Mars went from a presumably life-supporting planet to a place as dead as all others in the solar system. We do know, however, that whatever water and ...
