While humans living on Mars is the stuff of sci-fi movies for now, scientists may have figured out a major step toward colonization, by in effect creating global warming on the planet. It could be ...

Mars, often referred to as the Red Planet, has long intrigued scientists due to its striking rusty hue. Previously, researchers believed that Mars turned red through a slow oxidation process in dry ...

"It's been such a puzzle that there was liquid water on Mars, because Mars is further from the sun, and also, the sun was fainter early on." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
