Craters, craters, and yet more craters: this snapshot from ESA's Mars Express is packed full of them, each as fascinating as ...
Newly released Mars images offer a detailed look at one of the Red Planet's oldest, most heavily cratered regions, a ...
How did young volcanoes on Mars form? This is what a recent study published in the journal Geology hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated th | Space ...
Scientists compare volcanic cones on Earth and Mars to explain how gas-rich magma forms scoria cones. Spacecraft observations and Earth analog sites provide evidence of similar eruptive processes.
A Martian volcano once thought to be the result of a single eruption turns out to have a much more complex past. Orbital imaging and mineral data show it developed through multiple eruptive phases, ...
A potential new mineral on Mars forms when iron sulfates are heated above 100°C. Data from Valles Marineris regions suggest ...
When we think of ice on Mars, we typically think of the poles, where we can see it visibly through probes and even ground-based telescopes. But the poles are hard to access, and even more so given the ...
Soar above the awe-inspiring presence of Sakurajima, one of the world's most active volcanoes, with this breathtaking drone video. This aerial journey showcases the raw, untamed power of nature and ...
The radio 'howl' of a lightning-like discharge has been detected at Mars for the first time. While orbiting the red planet, ...
A vast underground tunnel known as a lava tube, formed from ancient volcanic activity, has been discovered Venus.
A collapsed lava tube detected in 30-year-old radar data from Venus may be part of a much wider network of underground caves.
