Using images from cameras on Mars orbiters, an international research team has discovered structures on Mars that are very ...

Explore the incredible lengths humanity must go to reach the solar system’s giants. From months-long trips to Mars to ...

Thanks to Einstein’s relativity, time flows differently on Mars than on Earth. NIST scientists have now nailed down the difference, showing that Mars clocks tick slightly faster—and fluctuate over the ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) fulfills a vital role in national security: employing the sort of people who would, if they got bored, take over the world. It takes a ...

The Mars Express orbiter launched to the Red Planet. Twenty years later, ESA has delivered a high resolution color image of Mars along with a time-lapse of "webcam" images that were released in near ...

Research conducted by two physicists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the US reveals that clocks on Mars tick 477-millionths of a second (or 477 microseconds) faster ...

You know how it goes: You’re trying to get some shut-eye in your bunk after a long shift of scraping samples of prebiotic material from red rocks in Utopia Planitia, and before you know it, your alarm ...

The goal of sending astronauts to the surface of Mars has been a major point of contention, with the likes of SpaceX CEO Elon Musk arguing that we should skip the Moon entirely in favor of the Red ...

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 ...

However, for Mars it's a four body problem with Mars itself thrown into the mix and making the calculations an order of magnitude harder to solve. Worse, Mars moves in a more elliptical orbit than the ...
