A study by scientists at Penn State and NASA shows that intact biomolecules from dormant microbes break down much more slowly in pure water ice than they do in mixed soil samples. Ancient microbes, or ...
Mars’s gravity shapes ice ages on Earth, new research finds - Red Planet’s gravity plays a significant role in climate cycles ...
Why did the ice ages occur? If you need a scapegoat, a new study by Stephen Kane of UC Riverside suggests pointing the finger ...
Despite its small size, Mars seems to have a huge impact on the orbital cycles that govern Earth’s climate, especially those ...
Scientists propose using ice as a building material for Mars habitats, offering protection from radiation while allowing ...
This doesn’t mean Mars causes ice ages on its own. Orbital cycles are only part of the picture. Earth’s oceans, atmosphere, ...
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 ...
A recent study examining Martian craters identified that the planet experienced multiple ice ages between approximately 640 and 98 million years ago. This research revealed a consistent pattern ...
In a recent study, a team of researchers from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and Penn State suggested that future missions to Mars search for microbes or their remains in that planet’s ice, rather ...
