A veteran spacecraft has sniffed the Martian atmosphere for the last time. More than a decade after the MAVEN orbiter arrived at Mars and six months after it unexpectedly went quiet, NASA has ...

Our Sun constantly releases a stream of high-speed charged particles, known as the solar wind. Unlike Earth, Mars does not have a strong global magnetic field to shield its atmosphere from this flow.

Previously, Mars was warm and watery, with a thick atmosphere, almost Earth-like. But over billions of years, this atmosphere wore away, leaving a cold, dry planet with a thin atmosphere. This was due ...

When the surface of the Sun exploded with activity in May 2024, Earth was hit by the biggest solar storm in more than two decades. The video shown below—made from images captured by NASA’s Solar ...
