Olympus Mons dwarfs any volcanic structure on Earth, but scientists have long debated whether Mars’ volcanic activity is a thing of the past or an ongoing process. The new gravity data ...

On Earth, these patterns shape everything from ... Researchers led by Kaoru Sato at the University of Tokyo have discovered that on Mars, gravity waves (GWs) have a dominant effect on air ...

From cosmic radiation to crushing isolation, the journey to Mars presents a web of interlinked dangers. NASA’s Human Research ...

The study applied methods developed to explore Earth's atmosphere to quantitatively estimate the influence of gravity waves on Mars' planetary circulation. A new study by researchers including ...

A new study using high-resolution images from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has revealed striking surface patterns ...

On May 12, weather-station equipment on NASA's Curiosity rover (pictured 2021) recorded a high temperature of 11 degrees ...

Unlike Earth, where Rossby waves dominate atmospheric circulation, on Mars, gravity waves take precedence. These waves, too small to be measured directly, must be estimated using indirect methods.

In fact, researchers over the years have recovered hundreds of rocks that got their start on Mars ... gravity, enter into an orbit around the Sun, and eventually find themselves pulled towards Earth.
