Researchers believe that Mars might be home to ice deposits outside of its poles that surpass the volume contained in the ...

Water frost has been spotted at the equator of Mars for the first time. In this region of the Red Planet, equivalent to its tropics, it was previously believed that it would be impossible for ...

Mars may be hiding a vast stash of water beneath the Medusae Fossae Formation (MFF) near its equator. This ice-rich deposit ...

If that ice melted, scientists say, it could flood the entire surface of Mars in water nearly nine feet deep. That’s more water than Earth’s Red Sea holds, buried under one of the most debated and ...

Scientists discovered a massive ice sheet under Mars's Medusae Fossae, enough to cover the planet in water. This find could reshape Mars exploration, colonization, and climate theories.

Did Mars' water escape underground, where it dwells today in vast amounts? Some scientists aren't so sure. Scientists are confident Mars was once abundant with water, as seen in massive flood ...

The fate of Mars' water -- whether it was buried as ice, confined in deep aquifers, incorporated into minerals or dissipated into space -- remains an area of ongoing research, one of particular ...

Curiosity has been exploring the Gale Crater on Mars since 2012 and its sample with the fatty acid molecules were found in a ...

David Bowie famously pondered whether there is life on Mars – and we might be one step closer to answering that question. Enough water to cover the surface of Mars has been discovered within the ...
