Mars is going through an ice age, according to a new study. Based on radar data collected by Nasa's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, researchers at the Southwest Research Institute have found an increase in ice at Mars' north pole is consistent with the long-term drop in temperature associated with an ice age.
Europe and Russia are about to launch a joint mission to the Red Planet.
A multi-billion-dollar robot dispatched to Mars to search for life must steer clear of promising "hot spots" for fear of spreading microbes from Earth, Nasa project scientists say.
A trio of scientists says they've identified the best place to look for evidence of ancient life on Mars — one of the youngest lake-bearing basins ever discovered.
NASA's Mars rover Curiosity snaps some beautiful photos of a blue-tinged sunset on the Red Planet.
Mars has thousands of glaciers buried beneath its dusty surface, enough frozen water to blanket the planet with a 3.6-foot(1.1- meter) thick layer of ice, scientists say.
NASA's team Curiosity Rover has found nitrogen on the surface of Mars which is a significant discovery that adds to evidence the Red Planet could once have sustained life, the space agency said.
