For the first time, scientists have mapped vast, continent-scale river drainage systems on Mars — ancient networks that may also be among the most promising places to search for signs of past life.

As humanity prepares to take its first steps on Mars, a comprehensive report released by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and steered by scientists at Penn State lays out a detailed science strategy to guide the initial human missions to the red planet.

NASA's Perseverance rover has for the first time helped scientists confirm that electrical sparks often ignite within swirling mini-twisters on Mars.

A new report published Tuesday, titled “A Science Strategy for the Human Exploration of Mars,” represents the answer from leading scientists and engineers in the United States: finding whether life exists, or once did, beyond Earth.

Clocks on Mars tick faster by about 477 microseconds each Earth day, a new study suggests. This difference is significantly more than that for our moon, posing potential challenges for future crewed missions.

Humanity's exploration of Mars should be organized around the search for signs of past or present Red Planet life, according to a new report from the U.S. National Academies.

McLean-based candy and pet care giant Mars announced Thursday that it has completed its $36 billion acquisition of Kellanova.

Even over Zoom today from across the world, with Rosé in Seoul and Mars in Los Angeles, there’s a comfortable candor between the two collaborators and close friends — a relationship that Rosé, 28, likens to siblings,
