The Heising-Simons Foundation names Malena Rice and Eva Scheller as two recipients of the 51 Pegasi-b postdoctoral program to be hosted by MIT. Rice will use TESS to look for Planet Nine while Scheller will study water on Mars.

NASA’s Perseverance rover is wrapping up the first phase of its mission and preparing for the next one.

A NASA geologist has answered the question, Is there water on Mars? The short answer is yes, but not in the way you think.

NASA’s Perseverance rover has found rocks near its landing site at Jezero crater with a surprising composition that hints that they formed in cooling magma and were submerged in water at least twice

The deep trenches on Mars surface are one of the planets more compelling features, and now we might have an idea of the catastrophic events that produced them some of them.

NASA Scientists have long speculated that there is organic salt on Mars, and NASA thinks that it has found a way to prove it. The study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, indirectly points to the presence of organic salts using data from the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) — a portable chemistry lab inside the Curiosity rover. In order to confirm what the data is suggesting, the lead author of the paper, James MT Lewis, has suggested using the Chemistry and Mineralogy (...

Published March 17, 2021, 8:40 AM Billions of years ago, Mars was home to lakes and oceans — but where all the water went to transform the planet into the desolate rock we know today has been something of a mystery.

Mars landing: Riveting video from the Red Planet What happened to the water? "Were saying that the crust forms what we call hydrated minerals, so minerals that actually have water in their crystal structure," Eva Scheller, lead author of the paper in Science magazine told AFP news agency.  Mars is believed to to have once had enough water to cover the whole planet, to a depth of anything from around 100 to 1,500 meters (330 to 44,920 feet). As the planet lost its magnetic field, the atmosphe...
