Perched on a vast plain above the arctic circle of the Red Planet, NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander has found new evidence that liquid water was once present in the north polar region and interacted with ...

The red planet might still have liquid water, suggests information collected by Nasa's Curiosity rover. Researchers have long known that there is water in the form of ice on Mars. Now, new information ...

The pervading carpet of perchlorate chemicals found on Mars may boost the chances that microbial life exists on the Red Planet — but perchlorates are also perilous to the health of future crews ...

In chambers that mimic Mars’ conditions, University of Michigan researchers have shown how small amounts of liquid water could form on the planet despite its below-freezing temperatures. Liquid water ...

Due to extreme temperatures and the dryness of Mars, it’s thought to be impossible for liquid water to form on the planet’s surface, a critical precondition for habitability. The only hope of finding ...

“Bleep! Bloop! Take me to your leader.” A strange green, three-eyed alien holds a ray gun at point-blank range. You shake fearfully, and you desperately scream for help, but the alien silences you and ...

Researchers have long known that there is water in the form of ice on Mars. Now, new research shows that it is possible that there is liquid water close to the surface of Mars. The explanation is that ...

Mars may hold liquid water raising the chances of finding life on the Red Planet. Although scientists have long known that there is frozen water at the poles of Mars, new research suggests that salty ...
