What can dust devils on Mars teach scientists about the Red Planet’s weather and climate cycles? This is what a recent study published in Science Advances hopes to address as a team of scientists ...

Multiple plans exist to explore Mars in the coming decades using robotic and crewed missions. The ultimate goal of these missions is to determine whether human beings could live there someday. This ...

Understanding why storms sometimes engulf the entire planet within a layer of grit could prove crucial to future missions. Every so often, all we see of Mars is an orb covered by dust from the wind.

Solar storms may affect weather on Mars when they strike at the same time as major Martian dust storms, a new study suggests for the first time. Researchers found evidence of rising temperatures in ...

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, ...

Nearly 50 years ago, NASA’s twin Viking orbiters captured images of narrow, twisty columns of dust swirling their way across the Martian surface. The shadowy figures were later confirmed to be dust ...

Just one day after the Perseverance rover touched down on Mars, it was already giving us its first glimpse of the weather in Jezero crater. So, what's it like there, and what can we expect from this ...

Mars may react differently when trouble arrives from two directions at once. A solar particle storm and a planet-wide dust storm overlapped in 2018, and temperatures rose in the lower atmosphere where ...

NASA's Curiosity rover has been roaming the Red Planet since 2012, taking thousands of pictures, drilling small holes in the planet's surface and searching for evidence of past habitable environments ...
