New simulations show red planet affects Milankovitch cycles that shape how solar energy is distributed on Earth over millions ...

Previous research on deep-sea sediments had suggested that Mars might influence Earth's climate, but the magnitude of this ...

Researchers discovered Mars subtly affects Earth’s orbit and axial tilt. These small changes help trigger ice ages and ...

Mars has an active, electrically charged surface where dust storms and spinning dust devils regularly move and reshape the ...

Helicopters on Mars may sound like something from a science fiction novel — or perhaps just a typical "Doctor Who" episode. But actually, they're not fully confined to the world of sci-fi; after all, ...

Using images from cameras on Mars orbiters, an international research team has discovered structures on Mars that are very ...

A study by scientists at Penn State and NASA shows that intact biomolecules from dormant microbes break down much more slowly ...

Scientists have traced ancient Martian shorelines inside a giant canyon, revealing where a vast ocean once stood and why ...

Most planetary scientists agree that Mars’ extreme conditions would be uninhabitable to life as we know it. New research, however, suggests that we might be underestimating the hardiness of lichens.

New MarsDaily research explains how thin seasonal ice could have allowed ancient Martian lakes to remain liquid for decades, despite a cold early Mars climate ...

Time moves differently on Mars — not in the Tibetan philosophy sense of the word, but in a measurable, physics-will-ruin-your-mission kind of way that's giving NASA engineers a real headache. As the ...
