Texas A&M is using a centrifuge to better understand how the human body responds to low-gravity environments such as those on ...

Mars is sold as humanity’s next home, but this video argues the real long-term prize may be Ceres — a 585-mile dwarf planet ...

NASA's Psyche spacecraft will perform a flyby of Mars to get a gravity assist. The maneuver will act like a slingshot, boosting the spacecraft's speed for its journey. Psyche is on a six-year mission ...

How does Mars influence Earth’s climate cycles? This is what a recent study published in the Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific hopes to address as a trio of researchers from the ...

NASA’s Psyche spacecraft swept within 2,864 miles of Mars on May 15, 2026, grabbing a roughly 1,000-mph speed boost that bent its flight path about one degree closer to the plane of its target, the ...

On March 1, NASA's Europa Clipper will streak just 550 miles (884 kilometers) above the surface of Mars for what's known as a gravity assist—a maneuver to bend the spacecraft's trajectory and position ...

A new study revealed that atmospheric gravity waves play a crucial role in driving latitudinal air currents on Mars, particularly at high altitudes. The findings, based on long-term atmospheric data, ...

Thanks to Einstein’s relativity, time flows differently on Mars than on Earth. NIST scientists have now nailed down the difference, showing that Mars clocks tick slightly faster—and fluctuate over the ...

The north pole of Mars is slowly sinking under the weight of an ice cap that only formed within the past few million years. And, in the process, it’s telling us something about what the planet’s ...
