A team of planetary scientists has developed a promising new way to peer beneath the dusty surface of Mars and other ...

Most intriguingly, the impact dug up boulder-sized chunks of water ice and scattered them around the crater. While it’s been observed on other parts of Mars, this ice is the closest to the ...

Now our new study of the largest recent impact craters on Mars, published in Science, sheds new light on the red planet’s interior. Examining impact craters can teach us a lot – from ...

A human mission to Mars may have just become a lot easier. Tracking down a new meteorite crater on Mars has revealed a potential new resource that could be crucial to NASA's plans for future human ...

A meteoroid slammed into Mars 2,174 miles (3,500 kilometers) away from the lander and created a fresh impact crater on the Martian surface. The ground literally moved beneath InSight on December ...

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured the stunning shot of the "enigmatic" mounds on the floor of a crater in Bosphorous Planum. Bela Karolyi, who led Nadia Comaneci and Mary Lou Retton to ...

The NASA InSight Lander has “heard” and detected the vibrations of four space rocks as they slammed into Mars over the ... waiting to detect an impact, those craters looked beautiful ...

This is what a recent study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research Planets hopes to address as an international team of researchers investigated how the size of impact crater ejecta could ...

Perseverance’s challenging three-and-a-half month climb out of Jezero Crater ... Mars’ earliest geologic period, and may have been broken up and recrystallized during an ancient meteor impact.
