Mars Study News Today

Scientists have reported the first evidence of the presence of solitary waves or distinct electric field fluctuations in the Mars magnetosphere. The study of these waves is crucial as they directly control particle energisation, plasma loss, transport etc. through wave-particle interactions. �� Scientists Report First Evidence of Solitary Waves in Mars’ Magnetosphere; Discovery May Decode Mystery Behind Ion Loss.

The researchers landed on silica aerogel, one of the most insulating materials ever created.

Water on Mars: The Red Planet is mostly bone-dry today (Image: GETTY) READ MORE If Marss water escaped into space through the atmosphere, the researchers would expect to find a very specific ratio of hydrogen to deuterium. Instead, their findings suggest the planets water was lost through atmospheric escape as well as being locked up in the crust. On Earth, water that seeps into the crust forms mineral with water in their structure. The minerals are melted down and the water works its way back ...

​Some microbes found on Earth may temporarily survive on the surface of Mars, according to a study that could be vital for the success of future missions to the Red Planet.
