This mission aimed to investigate one of the most significant mysteries of Mars’ past: Was there once a vast ocean in the planet’s northern lowlands? Now, after examining the geomorphological ...
"It's possible that this might have come from an ancient northern ocean on Mars." Thousands of hills and mounds on Mars have been found to contain layers of clay minerals, which formed when ...
Japan's SLIM mission exceeded expectations, while NASA’s Perseverance found evidence of ancient life on Mars. The Europa Clipper launched to investigate subsurface oceans on Jupiter's moon ...
So - how did a mission that went to Mars to analyse marsquakes and seismic activity discover what may be an ocean's worth of water over 10 kilometres below the surface? The C-S-I-R-O's Glen Nagle ...
The Medusae Fossae Formation, where the ice deposits are found, suggests a volcanic origin, potentially formed within the last 3 billion years and covered by volcanic ash during Mars' volcanic ...
Related: Ocean's worth of water may be buried within Mars — but can we get to it? On Earth — for example, in the western United States — we find such hills in the form of buttes and mesas in ...
The new work suggests that the edge of the dichotomy was eroded back by hundreds of kilometers during the time when an ocean might have occupied Mars' northern hemisphere. To view the Martian ...
