Martian Crust

Captured by the Mars Express orbiter's high-resolution stereo camera, the images capture a 600-kilometer-long (373-mile-long) scar on Mars' surface.

NASA's robotic InSight lander, in the twilight of its service after nearly 4 years on Mars, is revealing new details about Earth's closest planetary neighbor based on data from 2 big meteorite impacts that shed light on the Martian crust's structure.

NASA's InSight Mars lander captured a stunning view of a sunrise on the Red Planet, giving space enthusiasts an idea of what watching the run rise on Mars could look like. InSight is NASA's first mission to study the interior of Mars — its crust, mantle, and core — in depth and has completed its mission of spending one Martian year on the plane...

Rocks rich in silica similar to those in the oldest part of Earth's continental crust are scattered throughout the area where NASA's Curiosity probe is exploring on Mars, according to a study published on Monday in Nature Geoscience.

NASA and an international team of planetary scientists have found evidence in meteorites on Earth that indicates Mars has a distinct and global reservoir of water or ice near its surface.
