The search for life on Mars may have become more complicated because of the radiation from stars millions of light years away. These are the results of a new study published by Anais Roussel (G’24), a postdoctoral researcher and organic geochemist at Georgetown. Roussel studies how cosmic radiation from supernovae affects biomarkers that...

Meteoroids striking Mars produce seismic signals that can reach deeper into the planet than previously known. That’s the finding of a pair of new papers comparing marsquake data collected by NASA’s InSight lander with impact craters spotted by the agency’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). AI and seismic science The papers, published on Monday,...

The fact that the cold, dry Mars of today once had flowing rivers and lakes several billion years ago has puzzled scientists for decades. Now, Harvard researchers believe they have a compelling explanation for a warmer, wetter ancient Mars. How ancient Mars sustained warmth Building on prior theories describing Mars as a planet...

New analysis of marsquakes, which are similar to earthquakes, could offer clues into how Mars has evolved over billions of years, according to new research from The Australian National University (ANU) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Marsquakes: a window into the Red Planet's past The findings could help explain why the Red...
