Frozen beneath cracked, pitted plains on Mars lies about as much water as is in Lake Superior, researchers using NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have determined.

Naveen Jain, the founder of a space exploration company called Moon Express, told CNBC that his start-up is willing to work with Musk.

Mars is currently inhabited by an estimated 1 million microbes. They coat the surfaces and crowd the innards of our robotic landers… How to terraform a room-temperature Mars in 100 years. By Christopher P. McKay.

The Curiosity rover has found boron on the surface of Mars, indicating that, at some point, the Red Planet had long-term habitable groundwater. Boron is a chemical signature of evaporated water, and while we still don't know if Mars once hosted life, the discovery is further evidence that the planet was once plentiful with water, and therefore habitable.

NASA’s latest plan: ‘Mars Ice Home’ could be the key to providing astronauts with a place to stay for months on end while living on the Red Planet. By Weston Williams.

It is evident from past researches that water flowed across the mars some 3 to 4 billion years ago. There are immense evidence that water collected on planet’s surface. Scientists from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) discovered the unique interaction between methane, Carbon dioxide and hydrogen in Mars’ early atmosphere. They suggests that early mars have been warmed by a powerful greenhouse effect, intermittently. This discovery published in Geophysical Research letters.

Scientists discovered the evidence of atleast 2 billion years of volcanic activity on Red Planet. On analyzing the Martian Meteorite, which was found in 2012 in Africa, it is confirms that some of the longest-lived volcanoes in the solar system may be found on the Mars. Moreover, it is found that Volcanoes of the Mars are many times bigger in comparison to volcanoes on Earth. Olympus Mons, the largest Martian volcano, is nearly 27.3 kilometers high. Almost triple the height of Earth’s tallest volcano, Mauna Kea, at 10 kilometers.

A new aerial video of Mars, made from high-res satellite imagery, gives a gorgeous, 3D sense of the planet's topography

The search for water, or even signs of life, on the planet Mars has been ongoing for some time. But with today’s announcement by CERN and NASA scientists, the exploration of the red planet has revealed a major new discovery. New images of the surface of Mars taken by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter probe, analysed by an interdisciplinary team of experts from the fields of geology, archaeology and particle physics, have revealed the presence of the largest particle accelerator ever built.
