The dwarf planet is a bizarre, cryovolcanic world. However, the organic deposits discovered on its surface so far are unlikely to originate from its interior. The organic material found in a few areas ...

Using syrup and baking soda, research has demonstrated the formation mechanism of rootless cones, small volcanic landforms commonly found on Earth and Mars. The study clarified, through an ...

Images of Mars taken from orbit show thousands of mounds in a region sculpted by water billions of years ago. A robotic mission may investigate the area one day.

Research suggests that an ancient shoreline helped to sculpt the drop between Mars' southern and northern hemispheres.

"Rootless cones form when lava flows over wet or icy ground, causing it to boil and explode," said Dundas. "The region around ...

The data used to create the image is from a Hubble Space Telescope project to capture and map Jupiter's superstorm system.

NASA’s Curiosity Rover has been exploring Mars since 2012 and, more recently has found evidence of ice-free ancient ponds and ...
