China's Mars rover Zhurong finds possible shoreline of ancient Red Planet ocean

The Martian New Year marks the discovery of evidence supporting the existence of an ancient ocean on Mars, as observed by the Zhurong rover.

NASA Scientists Startled When Mars Rover Finds Rock With Stripes

NASA's Perseverance rover discovered a unique zebra-striped rock on Mars, potentially formed by igneous or metamorphic processes, expanding our understanding of the planet's geology.

Gravity Mapping Detects Large Hidden Structures Under Surface of Mars

Mars may have hidden geological structures, suggesting it is more geologically active than previously thought.

Mars' missing atmosphere could be hiding in plain sight

Mars once had a thick atmosphere that could have transformed into methane, now stored in its clay-rich crust.

New map of Mars reveals hidden 'structures' below the Martian surface

A new map of Mars reveals previously unknown dense structures beneath sediment layers, suggesting a complex geological history influenced by ancient oceans.

Edge of Mars' great dichotomy eroded back by hundreds of kilometers

Mars experienced significant erosion, leaving behind only remnant mounds across a vast area.
Evidence points to an extensive water-driven geological history early in Mars's development.
