A recent seismic analysis of NASA’s InSight mission data suggests that liquid water could still exist beneath the surface of ...

Seismic data from NASA’s InSight lander suggests liquid water may exist beneath Mars’ surface, supporting the potential for ...

Pictures of the frozen dunes can help scientists determine ... it still impacts the likelihood that Mars had water in its past. The levels of carbon dioxide on Mars fluctuate based on the ...

A new NASA study suggests that life could exist beneath the frozen water on Mars. Microbes might survive in shallow pools of meltwater, similar to ecosystems found under Earth’s ice, providing a ...

Ghost rivers, hidden lakes: The long search for water on Mars Martian lake beds and deltas reveal the Red Planet’s watery past. But many puzzles remain, scientist Bruce Jakosky says.

Mars can host life, according to Polish researchers, after demonstrating lichen's survival under simulated Mars-like ...

For life to exist on Mars, there must be liquid water. There is plenty of water on Mars, but most of it is frozen in the polar ice caps and buried underground. Despite the chilly temperatures ...

However, unlike Earth's ice sheets which are underlain by water-filled channels and even large subglacial lakes, the polar ice caps on Mars have until recently been thought to be frozen solid all ...

Gravity will be a challenge — scientists are worried that Mars lacks the "pull ... a coating of dry ice (which is frozen carbon dioxide), covering frozen water. As the dry ice melts, carbon ...

Photosynthesis requires light and water. On Mars, the ice could help melt subsurface layers, providing liquid water while still blocking dangerous radiation. These conditions could allow ...
