Mars is a desert planet with dunes, canyons, and surprisingly fast winds. It is very cold, though, so it does not often get compared to desert planets of fiction, like Tatooine of Star Wars or Arrakis ...

It was nearly 15 years ago when scientists first spotted gullies on Mars. Since then they’ve had the opportunity to make continual observations of these structures using the Mars Reconnaissance ...

This new evidence will allow scientists to further narrow theories about the mechanisms behind the formation of gullies on Mars and help reveal more details about Mars' recent geologic processes. The ...

Once we really get the exploration of Mars going (and by that, I mostly mean sending people over there for a first hand look), we’ll probably discover a whole lot of interesting, weird, or possibly ...

This post also appears on the Planetary Society’s website. In their study, Nuñez and his colleagues looked at over 100 gullied locations on Mars. They found no evidence of minerals that would be ...

New findings using data from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter show that gullies on modern Mars are likely not being formed by flowing liquid water. This new evidence will allow researchers to ...

Did life really exist on Mars after all? Unfortunately, there is no conclusive evidence for this yet. Nevertheless, it would seem that some form of life was the driving force behind the mysterious ...

This image from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is an example “linear gullies” formed by dry ice ...

These Martian gullies are a widespread and common feature on mars. New York: The gullies on the surface of Mars, similar to the ones on the Earth, are not carved out by flowing water, US space agency ...

Some of the gullies that cut the sides of Martian craters were likely formed by meltwater from glaciers that existed a few million years ago, when Mars was wetter than it is now, a new study suggests.
