NASA's Curiosity rover found organic compounds on Mars that are often produced by living things on Earth. A new study concluded that non-biological processes alone cannot explain the presence of these ...

These compounds are similar to fatty acids, which on Earth are most often produced by living things. A new study concluded that non-biological processes, like meteorites crashing into Mars, alone ...

Scott Solomon is a biologist and professor at Rice University and the author of “Becoming Martian: How Living in Space Will Change Our Bodies and Minds.” Astronauts are heading back to the moon — the ...

A self-portrait by NASA’s Curiosity rover taken on Sol 2082 (June 15, 2018). A Martian dust storm has reduced sunlight and visibility at the rover’s location in Gale Crater. A drill hole can be seen ...

While 'Iron Sky' told a “story of Nazis hiding on the dark side of the Moon,” the new films “shift the battleground to Mars, where the Red Menace is alive and well.” By Scott Roxborough, Patrick ...

Last year, NASA’s Curiosity rover made a fascinating discovery after boring into a suspected ancient lake bed on Mars: long-chain organic molecules, called alkanes, that could serve as a potential ...

Happy Valentine’s Day to all who celebrate. And to those who don’t, better luck next year. What more appropriate way to honor the occasion than by spending it with Bruno Mars. He’s an old-school ...

Mars’ youngest volcanoes may be far more complex than they appear. What may look like a single volcanic eruption is usually the visible outcome of far more complicated activity taking place ...

In a study published on Feb. 2 in Communications: Earth & Environment, an international team of researchers reveals how, in 2023, an atypical storm during Mars’ northern summer lifted water into the ...

Scientists studying a rock sample collected by NASA’s Curiosity rover have uncovered something tantalizing: the largest organic molecules ever detected on Mars. The compounds — decane, undecane, and ...

What appears to be a single volcanic eruption is often the result of complex processes operating deep beneath the surface, where magma moves, evolves, and changes over long periods of time. To fully ...
