Pasadena CA (JPL) Jan 25, 2013 - Researchers using NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter see seasonal changes on far-northern Martian sand dunes caused by warming of a winter blanket of frozen carbon dioxide. Earth has no naturally fr
Moscow (Voice of Russia) Jan 25, 2013 - Scientists believe that a large crater, which has been discovered on Mars, might have been a lake several billion years ago. A space vehicle, which NASA sent to explore Mars, has discovered layers o
Pasadena CA (JPL) Jan 25, 2013 - Opportunity is on the inboard edge of Cape York on the rim of Endeavour Crater, performing an in-situ (contact) science investigation of veins in the light-toned outcrop Whitewater Lake. O
Tucson AZ (SPX) Jan 25, 2013 - Spring is a dynamic season on the dunes surrounding Mars' north pole. When frozen carbon dioxide, or dry ice, deposited as a winter ice cap on Mars sublimates - changes directly from a solid to a ga
Pasadena CA (JPL) Jan 25, 2013 - NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has for the first time used the camera on its arm to take photos at night, illuminated by white lights and ultraviolet lights on the instrument. Scientists used the
Pasadena CA (JPL) Jan 23, 2013 - NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity, one of the twin rovers that bounced to airbag-cushioned safe landings on Mars nine years ago this week, is currently examining veined rocks on the rim of a
Paris (ESA) Jan 23, 2013 - ESA's Mars Express imaged the striking upper part of the Reull Vallis region of Mars with its high-resolution stereo camera last year. Reull Vallis, the river-like structure in these images, is beli
Tucson AZ (SPX) Jan 22, 2013 - The subsurface environment on Mars may hold clues to the origin of life, scientists argue in a recently published research article led by Planetary Science Institute's Joseph Michalski. A large frac
