The Medusae Fossae Formation of Mars has ice deposits over 2 miles deep, potentially providing vital water resources for ...

Mars may be hiding a vast stash of water beneath the Medusae Fossae Formation (MFF) near its equator. This ice-rich deposit ...

Multiple plans exist to explore Mars in the coming decades using robotic and crewed missions. The ultimate goal of these ...

I f you've ever looked at Mars through a telescope, you probably noticed its two polar ice caps. The northern one is made largely of water ice—the most obvious sign that Mars was once a wetter ...

Martian lake beds and deltas reveal the Red Planet’s watery past. But many puzzles remain, scientist Bruce Jakosky says.

Almost all water that exists on Mars now is ice. Ice caps are visible on the northern pole and scientists believe that much more exists locked beneath the surface. A wider view of the Gale crater ...

WELCOME to Mars – where the air is too thin to breathe and the surface temperature is too cold for unsheltered life. Yet the ...

Scientists discovered a massive ice sheet under Mars's Medusae Fossae, enough to cover the planet in water. This find could ...

Except for the scraps frozen into the polar caps, its water was lost to space or stored away as subsurface ice. And this all happened billions of years ago. The early Mars had been dynamic ...

However, unlike Earth's ice sheets which are underlain by water-filled channels and even large subglacial lakes, the polar ice caps on Mars have until recently been thought to be frozen solid all ...

There is plenty of water on Mars, but most of it is frozen in the polar ice caps and buried underground. Despite the chilly temperatures, there could be liquid water underneath the surface ice in ...

Elon Musk aims to colonize Mars despite challenges such as its extreme climate, thin atmosphere, and lack of liquid water. The mission faces threats l ...
