MARS

These detailed photos of mars show how incredible the planet really is.

Humans settling Mars or living in a space colony might evolve into a new species much faster than they would have on Earth, assuming they can avoid the dangers of inbreeding.

NASA launched some student-designed Mars rover robots into space on a rocket to see how well they would travel in Earth’s atmosphere.

The sperm successfully created healthy offspring after surviving nine months on the International Space Station.

Will we really visit Mars in our lifetimes? And if so, on whose spaceship?

Elon Musk's SpaceX is working to send people to space, and eventually Mars. This is what they think it'll look like.

The moon is back at the center of efforts not only to explore space, but to create a permanent, independent space-faring society.

The rivers on Titan, Saturn’s biggest moon, flow across its landscape the way they used to on Mars before it dried up, so Titan may not be as similar to Earth as we thought.

The dwarf planet Ceres was in the perfect spot for NASA’s Dawn spacecraft to take shots of its bright surface and its even brighter crater.

A human space colony on Mars or another planet may evolve into a different race if we leave inhabitants alone to breed.

The atmosphere on Mars evolved over time, and during that period of climate change, rain probably fell hard enough in storms that carved out the surface and eroded craters.

Three billion years ago, Mars had conditions similar to those on Earth.

Earth isn’t the only planet in our solar systems that has storms. Clouds gather and lightning crashes throughout our neighborhood.

A team of researchers used a combination of laboratory impact experiments, computer models and geological observations to explain the formation of bright streaks around some impact craters on Mars.

China has eight students living in a space colony simulation called the “lunar palace” to help prep the country for sending astronauts to the moon and to Mars.

When astronauts are on the International Space Station, their blood doesn’t transport as much oxygen to their muscles and they grow weaker.

When science and art come together, it can help us envision what our universe looks like beyond the bonds of Earth’s gravity.

The image, snapped using the orbiter's HiRise camera, shows several RSLs that appear as dark lines extending downslope.

The Mars rover Curiosity is carrying dirt in its hand as it scales a mountain and continues exploring another planet.

Stephen Hawking says humans have to leave Earth in the next 100 years and colonize another planet if we want any hope of surviving extinction.

Elon Musk is changing the world for humanity. Albert Einstein redefined the universe for humanity.
