(Natural News) A recent study by European researchers strengthened the case for seasonal spikes of methane in Mars. First discovered by NASA’s Curiosity rover in 2013, the latest methane spikes were confirmed by orbiting spacecraft. In 2019, Curiosity discovered that the methane levels in the Martian atmosphere changed from season to season. The gas hit its peak […]

(Natural News) Years ago, NASA’s Curiosity rover snapped a set of photos of the surface of Mars. A provocative new study interpreted those images as evidence that mushrooms were growing on the Martian soil. The researchers pointed out features in 15 images that resembled algae, lichens, and mushrooms on Earth. They added that the shapes […]

(Natural News) Millions of years ago, asteroids slammed into Mars, possibly delivering loads of the ingredients required for starting organic life on a planet. During the time of the cosmic event, the Red Planet may have possessed plenty of atmospheric hydrogen, which would have helped spur the development of simple organisms. Assuming Mars did have […]

(Natural News) Scientists reveal that Mars Express found geological evidence indicating the presence of interconnected lakes that once lay deep beneath the Martian surface. Some experts say that this discovery hints that the Red Planet once harbored life. The conditions in Mars billions of years ago were, in theory, very similar to Earth – meaning […]

(Natural News) New research from NASA has found that resveratrol, one of the key medicinal ingredients in grapes and red wine, may be beneficial in helping astronauts on future long missions to Mars avoid developing serious health conditions like muscle atrophy. Even though the scientific establishment often insists that food nutrients like resveratrol are functionally […]

(Natural News) Liquid water once covered much of the surface of Mars. A recent study has proposed that the flowing water owed its existence to asteroid impacts that heated the planet during its early years. Space probes and Martian landers have found plenty of evidence for the presence of streams, rivers, ponds, and lakes on ancient Mars. The […]

(Natural News) Mars has always been a fascination ever since it was discovered. Modern technology is always at work in uncovering what can be learned from the Red Planet. New satellite images taken by the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express Satellite now help paint a clearer picture of Mars before it became the cold, […]

(Natural News) The deepest parts of the craters that dot the dusty Martian landscape conceal channels and valleys carved out by the passage of liquid water eons ago. European researchers consider them to be signs that Mars possessed a massive groundwater system in its distant past. Furthermore, the European Space Agency (ESA) research team uncovered […]

(Natural News) Are you a funny guy or gal who’d love the opportunity to travel to space? If so, then the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) wants to hear from you. The federal space agency is reportedly looking for a jokester to accompany astronauts on a mission to Mars that’s set to take place […]

(Natural News) When humans finally take over Mars, it will be with the help of 3D printing technology. Additive manufacturing will provide invaluable services during the colonization of the Red Planet, including the all-important role of shielding colonists from deadly cosmic radiation. Traditional manufacturing lines are limited to building a single product. A 3D printer, on the other hand, […]
