  NASA Rover Uncovers 4-Billion-Year-Old Buried River Delta On Mars

  Using ground-penetrating radar, NASA's Perseverance rover has detected underground remains of an ancient river delta on Mars in some of the oldest evidence yet obtained showing how water once flowed on the surface of Earth's planetary neighbor.

  ESA Reveals City-Size ‘Cosmic Butterfly’ Crater on Mars Containing Signs of Ancient Water

  ESA has captured a city-sized butterfly-shaped crater on Mars with smooth wings likely formed by melted underground ice. Studying this rare structure helps scientists understand asteroid impacts, Mars’ surface ice, and the planet’s ancient watery past while offering insight into how unusual crater formations develop on the Red Planet.

  A Secret Ocean Could Change Everything We Know About Mars

  Evidence is mounting that a secret lies beneath the dusty red plains of Mars, one that could redefine our view of the Red Planet: a vast reservoir of liquid water, locked deep in the crust.

  NASA’s Perseverance Rover Discovers a Large Number of Unique Rock Samples on Jezero Crater’s Rim

  NASA's Perseverance rover is exploring the Martian rim of Jezero Crater, a crater filled with rocky outcrops. The mission has cored five rocks, performed up-close analysis of seven rocks, and analysed another 83 from afar using a laser. The diversity of rocks found has exceeded expectations, with tons of fragmented once-molten rocks and formerly un...

  New Study Challenges Claims of Vast Underground Water on Mars

  Mars’ water history remains a mystery as new research questions the claim that vast amounts of water are stored beneath its surface. A study led by Bruce Jakosky argues that previous estimates of Mars’ mid-crust being saturated with liquid water may be inaccurate. The findings challenge earlier interpretations of seismic data from NASA’s InSi...

  Underground Reservouir on Mars Could Fill Oceans on Planet's Surface, Study Reveals

  Recent research based on data from NASA’s InSight mission has identified a substantial underground reservoir on Mars. This reservoir, located between 7 and 12 miles below the Martian surface, could hold enough water to cover the planet to a depth of 1 mile. The data, gathered by InSight’s seismometer between 2018 and 2022, suggests that water i...

  Mars May Be Hiding Most Of Its "Missing" Water Underground: NASA-Funded Study

  Vast amounts of ancient water may have been trapped beneath the surface of Mars, according to a NASA-funded study which challenges the current theory that the Red Planet's water escaped into space.

  Ceres Dwarf Planet Is an ‘Ocean World’ With Salty Water Underground, NASA Data Suggest

  Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, is an "ocean world" with a big reservoir of salty water under its frigid surface, scientists said in findings based on data obtained by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft.

  Mars Once Had a Vast Underground Water System, Claims New Research

  Scientists say images of craters taken by space probes show there likely once was a planet-wide system of underground lakes on Mars.

  Liquid Water Found On Mars: Underground Lake Discovery Makes Waves

  Using a satellite to peer beneath layers of dust and ice at Mars' south pole, scientists have detected a 12-mile-wide span of briny water, a large, stable reservoir akin to lakes buried beneath the Antarctic ice sheet on Earth.

  First Lake Of Liquid Water Discovered On Mars

  A massive underground lake has been detected for the first time on Mars, raising the possibility that more water -- and maybe even life -- exists there, international astronomers said Wednesday.
