New images from the Mars Express orbiter reveal evidence of a past ice age at Mars's mid-latitudes and shine light on the planet's dynamic climate history.

The ESCAPADE mission, which launched to space on a Blue Origin rocket on Thursday, breaks the mold of how planetary science missions typically come together.

Mars is a cold, dry, desert-like planet. But billions of years ago, scientific evidence suggests that it had a thick atmosphere, which kept it warm enough to support flowing water on its surface. So, what happened to the Red Planet, and could it happen to Earth?

For the first time in more than five years, humanity has launched a mission to Mars — but it won't be arriving at the Red Planet anytime soon. NASA's twin ESCAPADE probes launched Thursday (Nov. 13) on the second-ever flight of Blue Origin's powerful New Glenn rocket.

If there is, or ever has been, life on Mars, the chances are it would exist in caves protected from the severe dust storms, extreme temperatures, and high radiation present on its surface. One place to focus our attention could be eight possible cave sites (called skylights) recently discovered by Chenyu Ding at Shenzhen University in China,

In astrology, Mars is the planet of desire, pursuit, instinct, drive, and sex. Your Mars sign reveals a lot about your erotic language, turn-ons, and kinks. Mars tells you how you want it (and what makes you want it in the first place).

The New Glenn rocket lifted off about 45 minutes later than scheduled due to an unplanned hold with 20 seconds to go.

Since comet 3I/ATLAS, the third known interstellar object, was discovered on 1 July 2025, astronomers worldwide have worked to predict its trajectory. ESA has now improved the comet's predicted location by a factor of 10,
