Learn how cosmic rays, normally seen as a threat to humans in space, may be sustaining life beneath the surface of Mars and ...

The camera moves slowly over a surface that seems deserted and silent. There is no visible life, only dusty terrain ...

In an exciting new development in astrobiology, researchers from NYU Abu Dhabi have proposed that life could potentially ...

However, inside Mars, which is roughly half the diameter of Earth, the geodynamo cooled quickly as heat leaked away and convection ceased. As it did so, the geodynamo within the Red Planet stuttered ...

Mars' global magnetic field may have hung around for 200 million years longer than scientists had thought, possibly giving life a longer window to take hold on the Red Planet.

The thick, mineral-rich layers of clay found on Mars suggest that the Red Planet harbored potentially life-hosting environments for long stretches in the ancient past, a new study suggests.

We might be looking for life on Mars in the wrong place, scientists suggest. Extraterrestrial life is more likely to be lurking in Mars' ice than on its rocky surface, according to a new paper in ...

The search for extraterrestrial life is as much about basic biology, geology and chemistry as it is about seeking to understand our place in the universe. The former came into the spotlight last month ...

President Trump’s proposed NASA budget redirects focus from moon missions to Mars exploration. Central Florida scientists, including UCF’s Dr. Ramses Ramirez, is developing technology to help ...
