English: This chart compares the (at the time of their discovery) smallest known exoplanets, or planets orbiting outside the solar system, to our own planets Mars and Earth. Astronomers using data from NASA's Kepler mission and ground-based telescopes recently discovered the three smallest exoplanets known to circle another star, called Kepler ...
The JWST has captured its first Mars pictures, and they could reveal more about the planet's atmosphere. James Webb Space Telescope's first pictures of Mars could reveal more about the atmosphere ...

Scientists have announced the discovery of structures like layering and potential impact craters which had been hidden under Mars’ polar ice caps. New 3-D map of Mars' ice caps reveal hidden ...
Spotting Mars at opposition is easier than you might think because the planet will stand out due to its color and radiance. Instead of appearing a whitish yellow shade like the stars, it will be a ...
A number of solar-orbiting meteoroids were large enough to be tracked in space before striking Earth. It is now widely accepted that collisions in the past have had a significant role in shaping the geological and biological history of Earth. [140] Mars-crossing asteroids are those with perhihelia above 1.3 AU which cross the orbit of Mars. [141]
