Scientists have finally uncovered evidence that Mars may have a solid inner core. The findings, published in Nature, are based on seismic data collected by NASA's InSight lander, which operated on the ...

New experiments have shown that the core of Mars formed much faster than Earth's core, thanks to molten iron and nickel sulfides seeping down through solid rock and into the center of the Red Planet.

Mars is known for its barren desert landscape and dry climate. But two recent studies go beneath the surface: They explore the interior of the red planet using seismic data from NASA's InSight mission ...

While NASA retired its InSight Mars lander in December, the trove of data from its seismometer will be pored over for decades to come. By looking at seismic waves the instrument detected from a pair ...

Like Earth, Mars once had a strong magnetic field that shielded its thick atmosphere from the solar wind. But now only the magnetic imprint remains. What's long baffled scientists, though, is why this ...

Mars may have a hardened heart. Marsquake reverberations detected by NASA’s InSight lander revealed that the Red Planet probably possesses a solid inner core, researchers report in the Sept. 4 Nature.

Mars is a dusty planet dominated by vast, dry deserts, with no easily accessible sources of liquid water. Much like on Earth, ...

First ever supercomputer simulations of Mars with a fully molten core could explain the Red Planet's unusual magnetic field. Billions of years ago, Mars had an active magnetic field. Mysteriously, its ...

Mars is known for its barren desert landscape and dry climate. But two recent studies in the journals Nature and Science go beneath the surface,... The core of Mars looks like Earth’s. What makes the ...
