How does Mars influence Earth’s climate cycles? This is what a recent study published in the Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific hopes to address as a trio of researchers from the ...

Mars is half the size of Earth, with one-tenth of our planet’s mass, and at the nearest point in its orbit is over 33 million miles away. Yet new research highlights the extraordinary influence the ...

On Earth, knowing the time feels simple. Your phone pings the same second as a GPS satellite and an atomic clock in a lab. Everything is wired together so well that you rarely think about the ...

Mice flown aboard the International Space Station and exposed to Mars-like gravity for roughly a month showed only partial ...

The Red Planet's low gravity and lack of magnetic field makes its outermost atmosphere an easy target to be swept away by the solar wind, but new evidence from ESA's Mars Express spacecraft shows that ...

Humans did not evolve for space. Ironically, because we insist on going there anyway, scientists now know from studying astronauts that the lack of Earth’s gravity can wreak health havoc, such as by ...
