What is we used all of the solar energy on Mars to power an AI data center? How many 1000-watt GPUs can be powered? Mars receives solar energy based on the sunlight hitting its cross-sectional area.

Landers and rovers on Mars gather data that help scientists answer fundamental questions about the geology, atmosphere, surface environment, history of water and potential for life on the Red Planet.

Human colonization may still be a way off, but NASA has been exploring Mars with a series of ever-larger mobile science labs.

When a rover is exploring the surface of Mars, it doesn’t send data straight back to Earth. That’s for two reasons: Firstly, it would require a large, powerful antenna which would be cumbersome and ...

Mars orbiters have given astronomers an unexpected new vantage point on 3I/ATLAS, sharply tightening estimates of the interstellar visitor’s trajectory through the inner solar system. By combining ...

Ancient Martian rivers were not the modest, slow-moving streams that earlier models described. A remote-sensing technique published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that ...

NASA's Mars InSight Lander may be resting on the Red Planet in retirement, but data from the robotic explorer is still leading to seismic discoveries on Earth. In one of the latest studies using data ...
