A new analysis of impact cratering data from Mars reveals that the planet has undergone a series of global volcanic upheavals. These violent episodes spewed lava and water onto the surface, sculpting ...

While most people searching for signs of alien life these days might have their eyes on the exoplanet K2-18b, one team of researchers is keeping their sights a little closer to home. Texas A&M ...

New data is challenging what scientists previously knew about one of the youngest geological features on the Red Planet. That feature is Athabasca Valles, a system of valleys carved into volcanic ...

A chance discovery by a NASA rover on Mars shows that the red planet has a form of lightning, which researchers had suspected ...

Deep within Earth’s mantle, scientists have uncovered surprising evidence that traces of the planet’s early form,proto-Earth, ...

"Explosive volcanism could repeatedly seed low latitudes with ice and ash, producing buried or insulated ice deposits that help explain the excess hydrogen signals measured near the equator." Ancient ...

Some volcanoes can produce eruptions so powerful they release oceans of dust and toxic gases into the air, blocking out sunlight and changing a planet’s climate for decades. By studying the topography ...

Researchers use the sophisticated technology on NASA's Perseverance rover to analyze volcanic rocks in Mars' Jezero Crater. Their findings show that some of the same volcanic processes that led to ...

A team of scientists has detected patches of water frost on Mars’ tallest volcanoes, challenging existing ideas of the Red Planet’s climate dynamics and providing key insights for future exploration.

A mosaic of two pictures showing the rover arm after scanning and sampling one of the rocks discussed in the paper. The rock itself is in the lower right and clearly shows the hole where the sample ...
