NIST scientists calculated that clocks on Mars would be an average of 477 millionths of a second faster than clocks telling ...

Time moves differently on Mars — not in the Tibetan philosophy sense of the word, but in a measurable, physics-will-ruin-your-mission kind of way that's giving NASA engineers a real headache. As the ...

The result is that the team's calculation predicts that time on Mars runs 477 microseconds per day faster, with a fluctuation of 266 microseconds that needs to be accounted for at any point in the ...

"A three-body problem is extremely complicated. Now we're dealing with four: the sun, Earth, the moon and Mars. The heavy lifting was more challenging than I initially thought." When you purchase ...

The white pickup truck pulls up to a decommissioned space observatory on top of Mount Blue Sky, one of Colorado’s famous “14ers,” mountains that reach more than 14,000 feet high. The scene is stark on ...
