The idea that Mars could affect Earth’s climate sounds dramatic, since climate change is usually linked to cars, factories, ...

Gravity and motion make time pass faster on Mars than Earth, reshaping navigation, communication, and future crewed missions.

For decades, climate science has focused on what happens on Earth and in our atmosphere, but new research suggests our planet’s long term rhythms are also being nudged by a neighbor. Scientists now ...

On average, Martian time ticks roughly 477 millionths of a second faster than terrestrial clocks per Earth day. But the Red ...

Even worse, the orbit of Mars is elliptical (think of a slight oval rather than a perfect circle), which means that sometimes ...

Physicists have precisely measured how much faster time moves on Mars compared to Earth. This discovery, which factors in ...

What did Mars look like billions of years ago? This is what a recent study presented at the Europlanet Science Congress (EPSC) 2024 hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated mysterious ...

(Nanowerk News) The first use of a novel method of analyzing Mars’ gravitational force supports the idea that the planet once had an extensive northern ocean. In doing so, the method defines the scope ...
