The engineering lesson is simple: Sometimes the best observatory is the one already parked at another planet. When an interstellar comet was in a viewing geometry that kept Earth-based telescopes too ...

Researchers uncover how Mars affects Earth’s orbit, offering new insight into the planetary forces behind ice ages.

"Without Mars, Earth's orbit would be missing major climate cycles. What would humans and other animals even look like if ...

(Phys.org) —Exceptional structures deposited and shaped by water and winds adorn these interlocking craters and sculpt radiating patterns in the sands of Mars. On Mars's poles there are ice caps of ...

New simulations show Mars plays a key role in shaping Earth’s long-term climate by influencing its orbit and axial tilt over hundreds of thousands to millions of years.

Despite its small size, Mars seems to have a huge impact on the orbital cycles that govern Earth’s climate, especially those ...
