A new study finds that Mars’ red color comes from ferrihydrite, a water-containing iron oxide formed during its ancient wet period—not dry hematite, as previously thought. Lab tests show ferrihydrite mixed with basalt matches spacecraft data, reshaping our view of Mars’ history and its past habitability.

In the race to Mars, I want to see SpaceX beaten by a Chinese start up operating at a fraction of the cost.

Come on 2025, I know you've got it in you.

#PPOD: This image from ESA’s #Mars Express shows a beautiful slice of the #RedPlanet from the northern #polarcap downwards, and highlights cratered, pockmarked swathes of the Terra Sabaea and Arabia Terra regions. It comprises data gathered on 17 June 2019 during orbit 19550. This image was created using data from the nadir and color channels of the High-Resolution Stereo Camera. Credit: ESA/DLR/FU Berlin

Detailed color photo of the middle third of Mars, from polar cap to polar cap. There are dark swaths of material below the ice caps. In the middle, the planet is covered in orange ground and marked with numerous craters of various sizes.
