Mercury will be visible in the pre-dawn eastern sky for the next few weeks, joining Venus, Mars, and Jupiter for an early morning planetary lineup. The innermost planet is often hard to spot because its closeness to the Sun results in it appearing low in That NASA has aspirations for a manned mission to the Red Planet is already well known, but the space agency has now revealed in greater detail how it plans to make such a mission reality. In a document titled "NASA's Journey to Mars: Pioneering Next Steps These dark, narrow, 100 meter-long streaks (called recurring slope lineae) are flowing downhill on Mars, and are inferred to have been formed by contemporary flowing water. This week's announcement that salty liquid water flows on Mars has reinvigorated A new image from NASA‘s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows a resistant and highly fractured surface among sand dunes on the red planet. The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter often Terrestrial planets don’t usually have that big of a hydrogen envelope However, the researchers believe that while there is some evidence that Mars had plate tectonics, this theory remains controversial. Future work will look for evidence that While new evidence suggests that Mars may harbor a tiny amount of liquid water, it exists today as a largely cold and arid planet. Three billion years ago, however, the situation may have been much different. In 2012 the Mars Curiosity rover beamed images .

The dream of sending humans to Mars presents a number of scientific challenges, not the least of which is: what do you eat on a planet where nothing grows? That’s why, for almost eight years, researchers based out of the University of Arizona have been We're closer than ever to exploring Mars. After The Mars Curiosity Rover discovered water on the Red Plant, NASA has been ramping up its efforts to send the first human to the planet. Now, the agency has released a new report that outlines the next steps NASA scientist Amitabh Ghosh said on Friday that though the discovery of liquid water on Mars opens up immense possibilities, colonization of the red planet is still a distant possibility. "Among the things that need to be considered are the quality of the Jupiter and Mars are also staging an eye-catching display, as the duo shines less than 1/2 degree apart in the eastern sky Saturday morning. After an appearance in the evening sky in September, Mercury has now returned to the morning sky and will make its .
