Dnešní Venuše je synonymem pro „vesmírné peklo“. S povrchovými teplotami dosahujícími 460 °C, drtivým tlakem atmosféry (dosahujícího až velikosti 90 pozemských atmosfér) a mraky z kyseliny sírové se zdá být nemožné, že by tato planeta kdy mohla připomínat naši Zemi. Přesto nová vědecká studie naznačuje, že pod nánosem sopečného popela a v žáru nekontrolovaného skleníkového efektu se skrývají staré geologické jizvy svědčící o rozsáhlých, dávno ztracených oceánech.

Nasa has released a striking image of dawn on the Martian surface taken by its Curiosity rover, showing sunlight bathing jagged crags formed billions of years ago as the car-sized vehicle continues to explore Earth’s planetary neighbour. Curiosity landed in 2012 in Gale Crater near the Martian equator, and since 2014 has been climbing Mount Sharp, a 5km-tall (3-mile-tall) mountain rising from the crater floor. The image was taken by the six-wheeled rover’s Mastcam camera about an hour after...

Více než dvacet let stará měření robotického vozítka Spirit přinesla nový důkaz o dřívější existenci vody na Marsu. V datech z kráteru Gusev vědci nově odhalili přítomnost dvou minerálů spojovaných s působením kapalné vody. Podle odborníků tak mohla voda v minulosti pokrývat větší část rudé planety, než se dosud předpokládalo.

Es mucho más que una simple piedra. Viene de Marte y ha viajado tanto en el espacio como en el tiempo. Llegó a la Tierra después de ser arrancada de la superficie del planeta rojo por el impacto de otro cuerpo, pero su auténtico valor está en lo que conserva: una historia que se remonta a los primeros capítulos de ese mundo vecino, cuando su corteza apenas empezaba a formarse.Bautizado como Teghaza 001 (Teg 001) , este meteorito se formó hace alrededor de 4.100 millones de años, en los albores...

Organic molecules on Mars have reached a new record of diversity, with seven never detected on the planet before. The Curiosity rover drilled the rock sample, nicknamed Mary Anning 3, in October 2020, and years of laboratory analysis have identified 21 carbon-containing molecules inside it, the most varied collection ever found on the Red Planet.

Marte está vivo. No en el sentido biológico, al menos por ahora, sino en el geológico. Y lo que durante mucho tiempo pareció la prueba de que su interior había muerto podría ser, sencillamente, la señal de que lleva millones de años dormido.

Mars may not be as geologically quiet as scientists once thought. Researchers have detected unusual traces of gas above cracks near a massive volcano on the Red Planet, raising the possibility that volcanic activity may still be taking place deep beneath its surface. The findings, published in the journal Science Advances on November 4, could change how scientists understand the planet's interior and where they might look for signs of life. The discovery was made using the ExoMars Trace Gas
