Mars, long admired for its rusty hue and alien deserts, may play a far greater role in shaping life on Earth than once ...

At half the size of Earth and one-tenth its mass, Mars is a featherweight as far as planets go. Yet new research reveals the ...

Researchers uncover how Mars affects Earth’s orbit, offering new insight into the planetary forces behind ice ages.

Small lakes on ancient Mars may have remained liquid for decades, even with average air temperatures well below freezing.

New simulations show red planet affects Milankovitch cycles that shape how solar energy is distributed on Earth over millions ...

"Without Mars, Earth's orbit would be missing major climate cycles. What would humans and other animals even look like if ...

It’s a long way from Tempe to Jupiter, but a thermal camera built at Arizona State University is on its way. First though, it made a crucial detour at Mars, millions of miles from the quiet lab where ...

The findings potentially solve the paradox of how liquid water seems to have persisted on Mars even when the climate grew too ...

New simulations show Mars plays a key role in shaping Earth’s long-term climate by influencing its orbit and axial tilt over hundreds of thousands to millions of years.

New climate modeling suggests that small lakes on ancient Mars could have stayed liquid for decades, even in a generally cold environment. Small lakes on early Mars may have stayed in liquid form for ...

Researchers discovered Mars subtly affects Earth’s orbit and axial tilt. These small changes help trigger ice ages and ...
