It is difficult to predict exactly when humans will land on Mars, as it depends on a number of factors, including technological advancements, funding, and political will. Several space agencies and private companies around the world have announced plans to ...
Did you ever wonder what snow looks like on Mars? Thanks to a recent Mars photograph, we can see how ice and snow cover the ground in a beautiful but twisted winter wonderland. Discover the full story below and learn ...
Mars is quite shaky, and now we have more proof. A seismic event recorded on our neighbor planet is now the greatest ever detected, with a magnitude of 4.7. Five times stronger than the InSight lander’s previous greatest earthquake on ...
Two new samples of regolith from the Mars 2020 Perseverance mission could aid researchers and engineers in their study of the Red Planet and planning of future missions. The NASA Perseverance rover collected two more samples from Mars on December ...
There is hope that the Perseverance rover has discovered organic molecules in the Jezero Crater rocks. Organic chemicals have been detected on Mars before, according to previous investigations. There is data to support this from the Curiosity rover, the Mars ...
Mars may not have always had a weak magnetic field or an atmosphere with only 1% of Earth’s pressure. Depositional and erosional processes, ubiquitous on Earth and triggered by water, might readily explain many of the surficial features of Mars, ...
Going to Mars and living there is a lot more complicated than in sci-fi movies, although we might learn a thing or two from Matt Damon’s character from ‘The Martian’ movie. Scientists need as much information about the Red Planet’s ...
Astronomers might get closer to the answer to the centuries-old question: is there life on Mars? Ever since Galileo Galilei discovered our neighboring planet back in 1610, it became clear that astronomers would have a lot of work to do. ...
Nine times, with the help of advanced parachutes, huge airbags, and jetpacks, NASA has managed to land spacecraft on the surface of Mars. Now, engineers are looking at whether or not a crash landing is the quickest way to the ...
Taking a look at those distant objects in the Universe, such as galaxies and stars, is so mainstream when it comes to astronomy! Why not study the planets of our Solar System more, instead? Who knows what we can find! ...
