When considering space colonization, most discussions focus on the Moon and Mars. While they’re relatively close to Earth and ...

In a nutshell Mars likely never developed a solid inner core during its early history, meaning its magnetic field was generated by a fully molten core, unlike Earth’s layered core structure ...

Mars' global magnetic field may have hung around for 200 million years longer than scientists had thought, possibly giving life a longer window to take hold on the Red Planet.

Learn about Mars' defunct magnetic field, which may have sustained life on the planet and covered only its southern hemisphere over 4 billion years ago.

New discoveries by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover may not only explain why the Red Planet is a dry, lifeless desert, but that it ...

Looks like Mars might have had more water than anyone previously imagined.

The aurora on Mars has been captured in a photograph for the first time. Elise Wright Knutsen, at the University of Oslo, has been checking solar ...

Until now, most studies of early Mars had relied on magnetic field models that gave the red planet an Earth-like inner core that's solid and surrounded by molten iron. The researchers were inspired to ...

The mystery of Mars' magnetic field has puzzled scientists for decades. A new study proposes a surprising explanation for its current asymmetry. Researchers at the University of Texas simulated a ...
