Scientists have identified another possible commonality between Earth and Mars: a solid inner core. Scientists have ...

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.

Planets change orbit shape around Neptune’s size. Metal-rich stars help giant planets form. Eccentric orbits suggest chaotic ...

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

When a mudflat crumbles on Earth, or an ice sheet splinters on one of Jupiter's moons (Europa), or an ancient lakebed breaks ...

A Chinese rover found evidence of ancient beaches on Mars, suggesting the planet once had vast oceans 4 billion years ago. The discovery of sloping sand layers beneath the surface provides new ...

Ferrihydrite, a water-rich iron mineral, plays an important role in giving the red planet its signature hue, according to the ...

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, ...

For now, the discovery of ancient beaches on Mars offers a glimpse into a time when the Red Planet may have been a blue one, ...

Mars wasn't always the dusty red desert we know today. Billions of years ago, waves may have crashed against sandy beaches ...

Ground-penetrating radar data obtained by China's Zhurong rover has revealed buried beneath the Martian surface evidence of what look like sandy beaches from the shoreline of a large ocean that may ...
