This image shows us something we'll never see on Earth. Mars has only a thin, tenuous atmosphere, and most of it (95%) is carbon dioxide. When Martian winter arrives, CO 2 freezes and forms a ...

As we know all too well on Earth, carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that traps heat, causing a greenhouse effect. This could have kept Mars temperate enough to host liquid water on its surface.

That color has led to them being nicknamed "mother-of-pearl" clouds. While Mars' atmosphere is 95% carbon dioxide, few of its clouds are at a high enough atmosphere and low enough temperature to ...

Why it's so special: These odd, fan-like features on the surface of Mars are geysers of gas and dust near the planet's south pole that are visible only in springtime on the Red Planet. This image ...

That feature is Athabasca Valles, a system of valleys carved into volcanic plains on Mars. The Athabasca Valles system offers key insights into the history of water on the Red Planet, and its ...

During winter on Mars, carbon dioxide ice accumulates near the surface. According to NASA, carbon dioxide ice is transparent, and sunlight that gets through it is absorbed at the base of the icy layer ...

The study by scientists at Caltech discusses the discovery of ancient wave ripples on the Mars surface, first found by the Curiosity rover in 2022. Scientists say these ripples are "undulations in ...

The car-sized Curiosity rover has spotted evidence of once quite hospitable environs on Mars. As shown in the imagery below, the NASA robot investigated dried-up lake beds and captured views of ...

Carbon fibre is a critical material for industries such as aerospace and automotive, prized for its strength and lightweight properties. However, traditional carbon fibre production relies on costly, ...
