‘In these simple snapshots from Mars Express, Earth has the equivalent size as an ant seen from a distance of 100 metres, and we are all in there,’ said Jorge Hernández Bernal who is part of ...

Billions of years ago, Earth and Mars looked remarkably similar. Both had thick atmospheres, keeping the planets within them warm and wet – ideal conditions for life. However, around three or ...

That would mean the solid centre of the core is just under a fifth of the radius of Mars itself, which is a size ratio similar to that of Earth and its solid inner core. “I think they have a ...
