A new study claims that a mineral found in Mars' dust called ferrihydrite, which forms in the presence of cool water, is ...
A study suggests Mars takes its red hue from a type of mineral that forms in cool water, which could reveal insights about ...
A new international study partially funded by NASA on how Mars got its iconic red color adds to evidence that Mars had a cool but wet and potentially habitable climate in its ancient past.
A groundbreaking study, financed in part by NASA, reveals the mystery behind Mars' iconic red color, linking it to the presence of water-rich iron mineral ferrihydrite, suggesting a cooler, wetter, ...
Mars' atmosphere moves differently from Earth's due to gravity waves. These waves affect air circulation at high altitudes.
Mars’s red dust may contain ferrihydrite, an iron mineral that forms in water. This suggests ancient Mars had water for ...
For centuries, the Red Planet’s signature hue has fascinated scientists, but the real reason behind its color may be ...
Ferrihydrite typically forms quickly in the presence of cool water and so must have formed early on ancient Mars when the planet was still wet. "We are not the first to consider ferrihydrite as ...
Nasa has shared a video of some pretty cool-looking clouds, spotted above the planet Mars. Their Curiosity rover - a robot helping scientists learn more about Mars - captured this amazing video ...
A new study in the journal Nature Communications reveals that Mars is red for very much the same reason it may have once been home to life — namely, that it was a wet planet. This is in line with ...
The new analysis points to a different type of iron oxide that contains water called ferrihydrite, which forms quickly in cool water — and likely formed on Mars when water could still exist on ...
