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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
