What can craters on Mars teach scientists about the Red Planet’s climate history? This is what a recent study published in Geology hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated ice buildup ...

Recent high-resolution imaging of Mars has unveiled deep ‘scratches’ and craters that suggest the Red Planet once experienced an ice age. These geological features, which include eroded valleys and ...

Mars is half the size of Earth, with one-tenth of our planet’s mass, and at the nearest point in its orbit is over 33 million miles away. Yet new research highlights the extraordinary influence the ...

Earth’s ice ages have long been blamed on subtle wobbles in our own orbit, but new research suggests a distant accomplice is quietly helping to set the tempo. Mars, sitting millions of miles away and ...

Changes in Mars’ axial tilt (obliquity) drive shifts between polar ice caps at low obliquity and widespread mid-latitude glaciation at high obliquity. These cycles result in ice accumulating inside ...

A recent study examining Martian craters identified that the planet experienced multiple ice ages between approximately 640 and 98 million years ago. This research revealed a consistent pattern ...

They don't cause ice ages, but they do control the volume of things like glaciation and the factors that can trigger ice ages. Kane's simulations show that without Mars the frequent and intense ...

Are researchers searching in the wrong locations on Mars to find ancient life? This is what a recent study published in Astrobiology hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated searching in ...
