Life on Earth might not be as Earthly as we think. A recent research published in The Conversation explores a revived and compelling theory: that the earliest forms of life could have originated on ...

Time moves differently on Mars — not in the Tibetan philosophy sense of the word, but in a measurable, physics-will-ruin-your-mission kind of way that's giving NASA engineers a real headache. As the ...

The European Space Agency’s Mars Express orbiter captured this view of Mars’ south polar ice cap Feb. 25, 2015. Three years later, the spacecraft detected a signal from the area to the right of the ...

New research has challenged a long held theory about a peculiar Martian landmark, potentially changing the way scientists understand the red planet’s capacity to sustain life. The findings call into ...

Helicopters on Mars may sound like something from a science fiction novel — or perhaps just a typical "Doctor Who" episode. But actually, they're not fully confined to the world of sci-fi; after all, ...

Clocks on Mars tick faster by about 477 microseconds each Earth day, a new study suggests. This difference is significantly more than that for our moon, posing potential challenges for future crewed ...

If you're going to Mars you'd best take along a jar of anti-aging cream because while you're there you're going to age faster than on Earth thanks to the Theory of Relativity. It's only 477 millionths ...

Thin, seasonal ice may have protected ancient lakes on Mars, allowing liquid water to last for decades despite cold ...
