Pasadena CA (SPX) Sep 10, 2010 - Data from NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander suggest liquid water has interacted with the Martian surface throughout the planet's history and into modern times. The research also provides new evidence that volcanic activity has persisted on the Red Planet into geologically recent times, several million years ago.

Pasadena, Calif. (UPI) Sep 9, 2010 - NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity has reached the halfway point in its journey to its next science destination on the planet, U.S. scientists say.
Pasadena CA (JPL) Sep 07, 2010 - Opportunity finished her campaign to examine an exposed outcrop of rock that was of interest to the science team.
Pasadena CA (JPL) Sep 06, 2010 - Experiments prompted by a 2008 surprise from NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander suggest that soil examined by NASA's Viking Mars landers in 1976 may have contained carbon-based chemical building blocks of life.
Pasadena CA (JPL) Sep 06, 2010 - Curiosity, the Mars Science Laboratory rover that will be on Mars two years from now, has been flexing the robotic arm that spacecraft workers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory attached to the rover body in August 2010.
Washington (UPI) Sep 3, 2010 - New analysis of data sent from Mars 34 years ago showing there was no organic material on the planet suggests maybe there was after all, U.S. scientists say.
Bonn, Germany (SPX) Aug 30, 2010 - Orcus Patera is an enigmatic elliptical depression near Mars's equator, in the eastern hemisphere of the planet. Located between the volcanoes of Elysium Mons and Olympus Mons, its formation remains a mystery. Often overlooked, this well-defined depression extends approximately 380 by 140 kilometres in a north-northeast to south-southwest direction.
Pasadena CA (JPL) Aug 30, 2010 - One of the instruments on a 2016 mission to orbit Mars will provide daily maps of global, pole-to-pole, vertical distributions of the temperature, dust, water vapor and ice clouds in the Martian atmosphere.
Pasadena CA (JPL) Aug 27, 2010 - Opportunity has paused in her trek toward Endeavour crater to examine an exposed outcrop of rock that is of interest to the science team.
Tucson (UPI) Aug 27, 2010 - A NASA spacecraft with a high-resolution camera has photographed a young Mars crater and found frozen water in it, scientists say.
Huntsville AL (SPX) Aug 26, 2010 - It spreads, it mutates, it refuses to die. For the seventh year in a row, the Mars Hoax is infecting email boxes around the world. Passed from one reader to another, the message states that on August 27th Mars will approach Earth and swell to the size of a full Moon. NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN, the email declares--always in caps.
Washington DC (SPX) Aug 23, 2010 - Mars. Roman god of war. The Red Planet. From the perennial Mars hoax to Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles, no other body in our solar system has so captured the human imagination. Throughout history mankind has gazed into the night sky wondering what civilizations awaited those who landed on the Red Planet's surface. The novels of Burroughs and others tout the planet's allure and films have warned humanity of its dangers.
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Aug 20, 2010 - If life does - or did - exist on Mars, signs of such life might well be found in a region in the northern plains called Acidalia Planitia, according to a new study.
Washington (UPI) Aug 19, 2010 - Researchers say if life existed on Mars, the best place to look today is a region rich in what they say were mud volcanoes spewing sediment from underground.
Paris (AFP) Aug 18, 2010 - If a human ever sets foot on Mars, will it be a giant step or an exhausted shuffle?
