In September, the U.S. scientific satellite MAVEN entered an orbit around Mars, with the mission of learning what happened on the Red Planet’s atmosphere and water. MAVEN’s principal investigator Bruce Jakosky says scientists now know that Mars once had a much denser atmosphere and that it...
火星必备Mars necessityNo.01First of all, you'd have to figure out how to produce oxygen to breathe. The Martian atmosphere is very thin and it's 95% carbon dioxide. You wouldn't be able to just bring the oxygen you need to surviv...

Venus could have started losing water soon after its formation due to its closer proximity to the Sun, something that didn’t happen to Earth when its water was just as steamy. But if Venus did contain oceans, the planet probably had a more stable atmosphere, and thus, some kind of catac...
Mars's atmosphere is about 100 times thinner than Earth's. Without a "thermal blanket," Mars can't retain any heat energy. On average, the temperature on Mars is about minus 80 degrees F (minus 60 degrees Celsius) according to NASA. In winter, near the poles, temperatures can get down...
National Aeronautics and Space Administration will launch a Martian space probe, the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN), on November 18, 2013 from an Air Force station in Florida and mentions MAVEN will take 10 months to reach Mars and study its atmosphere.Brown...

Well, it didn’t take up a position in Mars orbit or hurtle off into deep space. Nor did it burn up in the red planet’s atmosphere or head back to Earth. Instead, with its work complete, the descent stage used its onboard thrusters to fly a safe distance from Perseverance before cr...
Martian upper atmosphere. It will orbit the planet in an elliptical orbit that allows it to pass through and sample the entire upper atmosphere on every orbit. The spacecraft will investigate how the loss of Mars' atmosphere to space determined the history of water on the surface. Credit: ...
So molecules like this ended up on Earth. In fact, what we call meteorites are pieces broken away from comets and asteroids that came in our atmosphere and left their extra-terrestrial organic matter on the surface of primitive Earth.这样的分子最终来到了地球上。事实上，我们所说的陨石是来自彗星...
