Mars Dust Storms May Be Predictable Based on Surface Heating Patterns
- Thursday December 12, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A new study suggests warm days on Mars often precede dust storms, with researchers analysing data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The findings show 78% of storms correlate with increased solar heating, particularly in northern regions of the planet. Scientists have developed an algorithm predicting certain storm types with 64% confidence, ...

NASA Study Suggests Microbial Life May Thrive Beneath Martian Ice
- Wednesday October 23, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA's study explores how Martian ice could harbour life by creating meltwater pockets beneath the surface that allow photosynthesis. Dust within the ice might absorb sunlight, warming it enough to create these pockets. The findings highlight the possibility of microbial life in Mars’ tropical regions, where sunlight may penetrate deep into the i...
