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 th | Space ...

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 ...

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, ...

Volcanic activity on Mars has existed in the past. The most recent was likely 50,000 years ago. Olympus Mons, the largest volcano on Mars, hasn't shown signs of activity for 25 million years. Volcanic ...

Future human missions can target the vicinity of the volcano to set foot on the Red Planet.

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.

A new look at an ancient volcanic blast on Mars suggests that the Red Planet was much more Earth-like billions of years ago, with abundant surface water and a relatively thick atmosphere, scientists ...

Time now for our science news roundup from Short Wave, NPR's science podcast. I'm joined by the show's two hosts, Regina Barber and Emily Kwong. Hello, hello. REGINA BARBER AND EMILY KWONG: Hey, Ailsa ...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A NASA spacecraft has spied what appears to be an inactive volcano on the surface of Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The volcano is about ...

Data from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper show the presence of cryptomaria (“hidden seas,” outlined in yellow). Primary material of the lunar crust is shown as blue. Areas show as yellow indicate basalt ...
