Water has been detected on Mars that could harbour life 12 miles beneath the surface, according to new research.

The findings, published Aug. 12 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, hint at sufficient water to fill oceans and globally cover Mars to a depth of over a mile (1 to 2 kilometers).

A recently released set of topography maps provides new evidence for an ancient northern ocean on Mars. The maps offer the strongest case yet that the planet once experienced sea-level rise ...

Mars – dusty, dry, and desert-clad – was once so rich in water it had not just lakes, but oceans, according to a new study.

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took an image of InSight sitting on the Martian surface on February 2, 2019. The lander was located in a flat plain called Elysium Planitia.

The Mars rover found geological formations in Gale Crater showing how water percolated beneath the surface, and ...

Mars may be around 140 million miles away from Earth, but the red planet is influencing our deep oceans by helping drive “giant whirlpools,” according to new research. Scientists analyzed ...

Zhurong landed on Mars in May 2021 and operated for a year. During that time, the rover traveled about 1.2 miles along escarpments researchers believe were once part of an ocean shore 4 billion years ...

If Mars’ crust is similar across the planet, there may be more water within the mid-crust zone than the “volumes proposed to have filled hypothesized ancient Martian oceans,” the authors ...

Mars may be around 140 million miles away from Earth, but the red planet is influencing our deep oceans by helping drive “giant whirlpools,” according to new research. Scientists analyzed ...
