A green glow in the Martian night
Nov 13, 2023 (ESA)
Under clear skies, the glow could be bright enough for humans to see by and for rovers to navigate in the dark nights. Nightglow is also observed on Earth. On M...
NASA's Mars Missions Persist Through Solar Conjunction
Nov 12, 2023 (SPX)
During this celestial alignment, hot, ionized gas expelled from the Sun's corona poses a risk of corrupting radio signals sent from Earth. To mitigate this, NAS...
Glow in the visible range detected for the first time in the Martian night
Nov 10, 2023 (SPX)
A scientific team led by researchers from the Laboratory for Planetary and Atmospheric Physics (LPAP) at the University of Liege (BE) has just observed, for the...
Cerberus Fossae Identified as Primary Source of Marsquakes
Nov 09, 2023 (SPX)
The Marsquake Service (MQS) has compiled a catalog of these seismic events, many of which cluster in a north-south band encompassing Cerberus Fossae-a region of...
The Ones Who Make Curiosity Go: Sols 4001-4003
Nov 08, 2023 (JPL)

Curiosity rover clocks 4,000 sols on Mars
Nov 07, 2023 (JPL)
To study whether ancient Mars had the conditions to support microbial life, the rover has been gradually ascending the base of 3-mile-tall (5-kilometer-tall) Mo...
Mars Climate Sounder data reveals new cloud trends, study shows
Nov 02, 2023 (SPX)
The study in question is titled "The Cloudspotting on Mars citizen science project: Seasonal and spatial cloud distributions observed by the Mars Climate Sounde...
Estimating depositional timing on Mars using cosmogenic radionuclide data
Nov 02, 2023 (JPL)
The carbonate rocks of the Margin unit are of particular interest from an astrobiological and a paleoclimatic perspective as carbonates are capable of preservin...
Bewitched Battery: Sols 3994-3995
Nov 01, 2023 (JPL)
