When we think of ice on Mars, we typically think of the poles, where we can see it visibly through probes and even ground-based telescopes. But the poles are hard to access, and even more so given the ...

Olympus Mons, a shield volcano on Mars, is the largest volcano in the solar system, measuring approximately 370 miles in diameter and 26 kilometers in height. The formation of Olympus Mons and three ...

In the next decade, it’s likely that we’ll see humans on Mars, with both NASA and SpaceX planning crewed missions to the Red Planet for the 2030s. In the meantime, plenty of data is being transmitted ...

A NASA orbiter has captured a stunning image of a giant volcano on Mars. The panorama, captured on May 2 by NASA’s Mars Odyssey orbiter, shows Arsia Mons, one of the largest volcanos on the Red Planet ...

A NASA spacecraft that has been circling Mars for more than two decades has spotted something it never has before in well over 100,000 orbits of the Red Planet. On a morning horizon in May, the ...

A volcano seems to have been identified near the rim of Jezero crater on Mars, which is being explored by NASA’s Perseverance rover. The vehicle may have already sampled material spewed out by ancient ...

A dazzling image taken by NASA’s 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter shows an unprecedented view of a 12-mile-high volcano poking through clouds at dawn on the Red Planet. Arsia Mons, which dwarfs Earth’s ...

Mars’s marred surface consists of craters, canyons, and mysterious formations that hint at a complex geological past. Scientists recently studied a tantalizing feature that could shed light on the ...

Scientists compare volcanic cones on Earth and Mars to explain how gas-rich magma forms scoria cones. Spacecraft observations and Earth analog sites provide evidence of similar eruptive processes.

How did young volcanoes on Mars form? This is what a recent study published in the journal Geology hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the complex geological processes responsible ...
