New findings using data from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter show that gullies on modern Mars are likely not being formed by flowing liquid water. This new evidence will allow researchers to ...
Mars is a desert planet with dunes, canyons, and surprisingly fast winds. It is very cold, though, so it does not often get compared to desert planets of fiction, like Tatooine of Star Wars or Arrakis ...
The idea of liquid water on Mars is an enticing one. We know life on Earth needs liquid water, and if we find it on Mars... We know there's plenty of frozen water on Mars; we see it there in abundance ...

Mars' strange gullies are not carved by water as once thought. New research shows sand and seasonal carbon dioxide ice are ...
This image from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is an example “linear gullies” formed by dry ice ...
This new evidence will allow scientists to further narrow theories about the mechanisms behind the formation of gullies on Mars and help reveal more details about Mars' recent geologic processes. The ...
New findings using data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) show that gullies on modern Mars are most likely not being formed by flowing liquid water. This new evidence will allow ...
