NASA’s Mars Odyssey spacecraft has captured a view that, until now, existed only in the imagination: a sunrise panorama of Arsia Mons thrusting through a gauzy blanket of clouds on the Martian horizon ...

Dr Charles Buhler has been the lead NASA scientist on Electrostatics. An experiment last month was sent to the moon and showed success against a decades long problem of lunar dust. Buhler believes his ...

Mars is a devil eat devil world. The Perseverance rover recently witnessed a gruesome scene on the Red Planet, in which a dust devil consumed its smaller counterpart, morphing into one, slightly ...

Martian dust might look harmless from millions of miles away, but up close, it could pose a serious threat to your health. As space agencies push forward toward a crewed mission to Mars ...

Dust on Mars, for example, contains large amounts of the compound silica, which is abundant in minerals on our own planet. People who inhale a lot of silica, such as glass blowers, can develop a ...

A science experiment aboard NASA's Curiosity rover has found tantalizing traces of possible past life on Mars. But there could be other explanations for where these compounds came from.

Dust devils, known to appear on Mars since the 1970s, have been observed both from the ground and from orbit. Thanks to a new study led by Naomi Murdoch of Toulouse University in France, we now ...

Given that Mars is significantly colder and further from the Sun, it's easy to imagine that its polar ice caps have been there for ages, and the planet is frozen and static. But that isn't likely ...

That's because Mars' orbit spins on an axis tilted by 25.2 degrees (similar to Earth's 23.5 degrees), meaning different parts of Mars get differing amounts of sunlight as the planet orbits the sun.

NASA is sending a suite of science and technology demonstrations on Firefly Aerospace's Ghost Riders in the Sky mission to ...

Hazardous dust is present on Mars, the Moon, and comets. The Electrodynamic Dust Shield (EDS) is an active dust mitigation technology that uses electric fields to move dust from surfaces and to ...

NASA’s retired InSight lander, now covered in Martian dust, continues to offer insights into Mars through images captured by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Over its four-year mission, InSight ...
