Understanding how air moves across a planet is key to predicting its weather and climate. On Earth, these patterns shape ...

Mars' atmosphere moves differently from Earth's due to gravity waves. These waves affect air circulation at high altitudes.

A new study by researchers including those at the University of Tokyo revealed that atmospheric gravity waves play a crucial ...

This discovery also helps scientists better understand Mars' climate history. By studying the interactions between water, rocks, and atmospheric gases, researchers can piece together how Mars ...

A new study revealed that atmospheric gravity waves play a crucial role in driving latitudinal air currents on Mars, particularly at high altitudes. The findings, based on long-term atmospheric data, ...

A new study claims that a mineral found in Mars' dust called ferrihydrite, which forms in the presence of cool water, is likely what gives the planet its reddish hue.

The thermal impact of dust storms on Mars is significant, playing a role similar to that of water vapor in Earth's atmosphere. Credit: NASA CC0 Thus, this research paves the way for more accurate ...

But it provides intriguing clues about Mars’ geologic and climate history ... the presence of both oxygen — whether from the atmosphere or other sources — and water capable of reacting ...

A recent study has revealed that the red color of Mars is due to ferrihydrite, an iron oxide mineral. This finding suggests that Mars once had liquid ...

There is something else that allowed a warm climate." The current thinking is that ancient volcanism on Mars expelled a considerable amount of hydrogen into the atmosphere, which, combined with CO ...

a time when Mars had a thicker atmosphere and warmer climate. The rover, which operated from May 2021 to May 2022, travelled about 1.2 miles (1.9km) on the planet, and detected thick layers of ...

The ripples suggest that the lake was free of ice at one point.
