Mars' gravity has a surprisingly large influence on Earth, affecting our planet's tilt and orbit and thereby contributing to climate cycles lasting hundreds of thousands to millions of years, new ...

Mars, long admired for its rusty hue and alien deserts, may play a far greater role in shaping life on Earth than once believed. A new study published in the Publications of the Astronomical Society ...

TL;DR: SpaceX has introduced "Marslink," a concept for high-speed internet between Mars and Earth using an adaptation of its Starlink satellite network. The system aims to provide a data relay capable ...

Earth's climate has swung between ice ages and warmer periods for millions of years, driven by subtle changes in our planet's orbit and axial tilt. These variations, known as Milankovitch cycles, ...

At half the size of Earth and one-tenth its mass, Mars is a featherweight as far as planets go. Yet new research reveals the extent to which Mars is quietly tugging on Earth's orbit and shaping the ...

Thanks to Einstein’s relativity, time flows differently on Mars than on Earth. NIST scientists have now nailed down the difference, showing that Mars clocks tick slightly faster—and fluctuate over the ...
