Sifting through 180,000 observations, the team found a single event. We may have detected a whistler wave on the Red Planet.

The single whistler event was recorded over a crustal magnetic field, at an altitude of 349 kilometers (217 miles) on the ...

While sifting through the extensive data collected by NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft over the last decade, scientists discovered a familiar type of electromagnetic ...

As Mars’ atmosphere continues to change, NASA activated a new instrument on Feb.25 to study how the Sun influences the planet and what drives space weather near Earth. NASA launched ESCAPADE, which ...

The thin air of Mars has long been treated as a problem to be solved, a hostile mix of carbon dioxide and dust that stands between human explorers and long-term settlement. A growing body of research ...

NASA’s ESCAPADE mission studies how solar wind removed Mars’ atmosphere, using twin spacecraft to measure atmospheric escape, magnetosphere changes, and space weather impacts.

Mars’s atmosphere may have once been hundreds of times thicker than it is today, acting as a blanket that protected it from frequent asteroids that ravaged other planets. While the sun and most ...

New research shows that an intense regional dust storm transported unusually high amounts of water vapor into Mars’ upper atmosphere, boosting hydrogen escape. The discovery reshapes understanding of ...

(NEW YORK) — 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 ...
