AI-Assisted Study Finds No Evidence of Liquid Water in Mars’ Seasonal Dark Streaks
A large-scale AI analysis of more than two million Mars orbiter images shows that the planet’s dark slope streaks form through seasonal dust avalanches, not flowing briny water. The results settle a long-running debate, revealing that wind-driven dust activity shapes Mars’ surface and offering new insights into the planet’s climate past and e...

New Study Reveals Mars Faced Heavy Rains: Possible Clue to Ancient Life
The revelation that Mars once had Earth-like rainfall reshapes our understanding of planetary evolution. The insights support the theory that early Mars was far more hospitable than previously believed, possibly housing primitive life forms. The findings could guide future missions like NASA’s Perseverance in locating signs of fossilised organism...

New Research Suggests Mars Experienced Warm and Cold Periods Affecting Liquid Water
New research from Harvard University suggests that Mars experienced alternating warm and cold periods billions of years ago, affecting its climate and ability to sustain liquid water. These fluctuations, which lasted up to 100,000 years, may have influenced the planet’s potential for life. The study highlights the role of hydrogen in trapping hea...

Mars Satellite Images Reveal Giant 'Kidney Beans,' Sparking Hints of Water and Life
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured images of frozen sand dunes in Mars' northern hemisphere, revealing unique formations halted by carbon dioxide frost during winter. Unlike Earth's desert dunes, which shift with wind, these Martian dunes remain stationary until spring thaw releases their icy grip. Scientists study these features to unders...

Liquid Water Carved Deep Canyons On Mars
Dramatic climate cycles on early Mars, triggered by buildup of greenhouse gases, may have caused liquid water to carve out deep canyons and extensive valley networks on the red planet's surface, scientists including one of Indian origin have found.

Macroweather Exists on Mars: Study
A new study finds that a relatively stable weather pattern, called macroweather, exists even on Mars.
