Mars isn’t as arid as it may seem. Billions of years ago, the surface of the Red Planet rippled with oceans and rivers of liquid water, but now it seems that all of that fluid has disappeared, leaving ...

Enough water to cover the surface of Mars has been discovered within the crust of the Red Planet by NASA's InSight mission. The ocean is buried between one and two kilometers (0.62 and 1.24 miles) ...

Scientists have found that ancient Martian lakes could have survived for decades despite freezing air temperatures. Using a newly adapted climate model, researchers showed that thin, seasonal ice ...

Mars's water disappeared somewhere, but scientists have been disagreeing for years about where exactly it went.

Data has revealed evidence of an underground reservoir of water deep beneath the surface of Mars. Scientists say the water is believed to be seven miles to 12 miles down in the Martian crust. The ...

Scientists have found evidence of enough liquid water on Mars to cover the entire planet with an ocean a mile deep, according to new research published Monday, and which scientists said could, in ...

Mars' irradiated surface is a godforsaken place. And yet there may be shallow pools of water near the Martian surface, a place 1,000 times drier than the driest desert on Earth. NASA's Mars ...

It's clear that Mars once gushed with water. Today, aerial views of the Red Planet's Jezero crater (shown below) reveal that water once poured into this basin, leaving behind telltale signs of rivers, ...

If you suddenly found yourself standing on the surface of Mars, it would feel like you’d been transported into a dusty space western. The arid soil lays a rocky palette of red powder across the ...

NASA's Perseverance rover discovered rocks on Mars, providing new evidence the red planet was once a wet, habitable world ...
