Ancient explosive volcanic eruptions on Mars could help explain mysterious hints of buried ice from the Red Planet's equator, a new study finds. Previous research has found that the surface of Mars is ...

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.

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 ...

Since the 1970s, planetary geologists have known that volcanic features cover large swaths of Mars. Early Mariner 9 images ...

A Martian volcano once thought to be the result of a single eruption turns out to have a much more complex past. Orbital imaging and mineral data show it developed through multiple eruptive phases, ...

Fresh evidence of volcanic activity on Mars is reshaping how scientists think about the planet’s potential to host life, past or present. Instead of a cold, geologically dead world, Mars increasingly ...

Sulfur crystals found inside a rock after NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover happened to drive over it and crush it on May 30, 2024. This discovery supports new research led by scientists at The University ...

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 ...

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 ...
