Envision a time when hundreds of spacecraft are exploring the solar system and beyond. That’s the future that NASA’s ESCAPADE, or Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers, mission will ...

Researcher Valentin Bickel wanted to know just how intense winds can be on the red planet. Using data obtained by the Mars camera CaSSIS (Color and Stereo Surface Imaging System), the ExoMars Trace ...

Researchers have documented 55 instances of "mini lightning" over two Martian years by eavesdropping on the whirling wind ...

Mars wasn't always a frozen desert. New data from NASA's MAVEN probe reveals its atmosphere is still actively escaping into space. Discover how the loss of its magnetic field doomed the planet, ...

Mars, long considered largely static, has revealed a dynamic interior in recent years. NASA’s InSight mission detected ...

NASA's Perseverance rover has obtained evidence that the atmosphere of Mars is electrically active, detecting electrical discharges - what one scientist called "mini-lightning" - often associated with ...

The discovery was made by analysing sounds from the atmosphere of the red planet obtained by the Perseverance rover.

Scientists have caught Mars's atmosphere crackling with static, uncovering evidence of miniature lightning in its dust storms.

Artist's rendering of a solar storm hitting Mars and stripping ions from the planet's upper atmosphere. Mars' atmosphere, once as thick as if not thicker than Earth's today, is leaking into space. "We ...

A key tracer used to estimate how much atmosphere Mars lost can change depending on the time of day and the surface temperature on the Red Planet, according to new observations by NASA-funded ...

The fact that the cold, dry Mars of today had flowing rivers and lakes several billion years ago has puzzled scientists for decades. Now, researchers think they have a good explanation for a warmer, ...
