NASA’s Curiosity Rover views sand moving one day to the next on the surface of Mars. This pair of images shows the effects of one…
This newly released HiRISE image shows layers of bedrock and dark dunes on the surface of Mars. Much of Mars’ surface is covered by fine-grained…
This new HiRISE image shows a new impact site on a dusty slope of Mars. The image also shows several dark slope streaks due to…
Astronomers use new craters on Mars to see beneath the dust blanket and determine the underlying rock compositions and textures. Mars is a dynamic planet….
This new HiRISE image shows a recent cluster of impacts on Mars. The dark spots in this enhanced-color infrared image are the recent impact craters…
This new HiRISE image shows dunes and gullies on the surface of Mars. Gullies are relatively common features in the steep slopes of crater walls,…
New research reveals that Mars had far too little carbon dioxide about 3.5 billion years ago to provide enough greenhouse-effect warming to thaw water ice….
ESA’s Mars Express provides a new mosaic of Mars. A new mosaic from ESA’s Mars Express shows off the Red Planet’s north polar ice cap…
NASA’s High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) gets a closer look at impact ejecta on the surface of Mars. Impact ejecta is material that is…
