A new study published in Nature Communications reveals that Mars exerts a subtle yet measurable influence on Earth’s orbit, ...

Mars, long admired for its rusty hue and alien deserts, may play a far greater role in shaping life on Earth than once believed. A new study published in the Publications of the Astronomical Society ...

Research shows Mars' gravitational pull affects Earth's deep-sea currents and climate, causing warming cycles every 2.4 ...

The gravitational pull Mars exerts on Earth may be strong enough to impact ocean currents. A study suggests Mars can cause deep-sea currents to change over a 2.4 million-year cycle. The study could ...

Mars' north pole contains a large ice cap made up of many layers of frozen water. Like ice cores on Earth, those layers offer a tantalizing record of climate on Mars over the past several million ...

Sulfur crystals found inside a rock after NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover happened to drive over it and crush it on May 30, 2024. This discovery supports new research led by scientists at The University ...

If you suddenly found yourself standing on the surface of Mars, it would feel like you’d been transported into a dusty space western. The arid soil lays a rocky palette of red powder across the ...

A climate change theory for Earth can be applied to Mars and possibly to other Earth-like planets, report a Brown geoscientist and two colleagues in the Sept. 26 issue of Nature. Orbital forcing of ...

What can the climate history of Mars teach scientists about whether the Red Planet once had the ingredients for life as we know it? This is what a recent study published in Nature hopes to address as ...

Since humans first started observing Mars, the existence of nocturnal ice clouds on the Red Planet has been known, primarily through daytime observations and sophisticated climate models. Twilight ...

Scientists have found that ancient Martian lakes could have survived for decades despite freezing air temperatures. Using a newly adapted climate model, researchers showed that thin, seasonal ice ...
