Planetary scientists recently simulated an alternate version of our solar system: one with a super-Earth causing climate chaos on Earth, Mars and Venus. If our solar system had a super-Earth, it's ...

New simulations show Mars plays a key role in shaping Earth’s long-term climate by influencing its orbit and axial tilt over hundreds of thousands to millions of years.

The earth (and humanity) would be very different without our smaller red neighbor. In A Nutshell Computer simulations show ...

Mars has long been the "apple of the eye" for many astronomers, mostly due to its similarity to Earth. However, one study examines how the red planet affects the Earth. A study published in ArXiv ...

Scientists have used the geological record of the deep sea to discover a connection between the orbits of Earth and Mars, past global warming patterns and the speeding up of deep ocean circulation.
