There are thousands upon thousands of questions related to the topic of astronomy, from the basics of the science to the ...

Look for a small, round, "flat" star with a grayish or bluish hue - that is the distant ice giant ... against the background stars, heading slowly back "out" toward the Bull's horns. Also highly ...

"Even the largest floods we modeled couldn't reach far enough to explain all the rootless cones we see." New data is challenging what scientists previously knew about one of the youngest ...

"The current and past locations of water ice are an important piece of the history of Mars," Colin Dundas, a research geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey told Space.com. "Understanding this ...

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 ...

However, they are not an Earth exclusive – NASA’s Curiosity has seen them on Mars. On the Red Planet, the clouds are not just water ice like on Earth, but can also be made of dry ice.

The 3.7-billion-year-old formations in the planet’s Gale Crater suggest the presence of long-gone bodies of liquid water, with no ice covering ... wave ripples on Mars, suggesting the presence ...

Like on Earth, these ripples were almost certainly formed by small waves on open-air (not ice-covered) lakes, planetary scientists say. It provides evidence that Mars was warm, wet, and habitable ...

In other words, Mars had a warm body of water, open to the air and not covered by ice, supporting the possibility that there was in fact life on Mars. "The team estimates that the ripples formed ...

How the geysers form During winter, carbon dioxide ice builds up on Mars' surface. Unlike Earth's ice, this frozen carbon dioxide is transparent. Sunlight passes through it, warming the ground ...
