The atmosphere of Mars has been losing mass to space since the planet's core slowed down, and the leakage of gases still continues today. [ 4 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] The atmosphere of Mars is colder than Earth’s owing to the larger distance from the Sun, receiving less solar energy and has a lower effective temperature , which is about 210 K (−63 °C ...
Mars' thin atmosphere means humans would have scant protection from space radiation, biologist Kelly Weinersmith said. NASA's Perseverance rover took this image of the Martian surface on November ...
The planet has been relatively faint all year but is becoming steadily brighter the closer Earth gets to it, The Weather Channel reports. This increasing brightness will continue until January 16 ...

ARES would have traveled to Mars compactly folded into a protective aeroshell; upon entry in the thin atmosphere, the capsule would have deployed a parachute to decelerate, followed by ARES release at altitude. As well as the aforementioned goals, the aircraft would also have investigated the atmosphere of Mars and its weak magnetic field. [9]
Other improvements has been made in order to allow public access to older and newer models of Mars' general circulation. MCMC has recently presented a community analysis pipeline (CAP) which is an open-source tool for analyzing and visualizing the Mars general circulation model. The project hopes to streamline and increase access to Mars data.
NASA’s Perseverance rover has collected a sample from Mars that has textures “unlike anything we’ve ever seen before.”. Known as “Silver Mountain,” the rock core has been sealed into a ...
Mars is a rocky planet, like Earth, that formed around the same time, yet with only half the diameter of Earth, and a thin atmosphere; it has a cold and desert-like surface. [10] One way the surface of Mars has been categorized, is by thirty "quadrangles", with each quadrangle named for a prominent physiographic feature within that quadrangle.
