Scientists have found vast oceans of ice lying just below the surface of Mars in a major boost to the search for alien life on the Red Planet. One of the most exciting planetary discoveries ever ...

Surprisingly, while large ice-sheets substantially depressed Earth's surface 20,000 years ago, Mars's surface appears undeformed by its large mass of ice. Why the surface of Mars has remained so stiff ...
