(CNN) — Mars may be around 140 million miles away from Earth, but the red planet is influencing our deep oceans by helping drive “giant whirlpools,” according to new research. Scientists analyzed ...

Despite being a planet away, Mars may be triggering “giant whirlpools” in the Earth’s oceans. As detailed in a new paper published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers analyzed samples ...

Researchers have found a new way to use satellites to monitor the Great Whirl, a massive whirlpool the size of Colorado that forms each year off the coast of East Africa, they report in a new study.

The gravitational pull Mars exerts on Earth may be strong enough to impact ocean currents. A study suggests Mars can cause deep-sea currents to change over a 2.4 million-year cycle. The study could ...

Mars's influence on Earth may be greater than we thought. In fact, the Red Planet, located over 140 million miles away from Earth, could actually be driving giant whirlpools in the deepest parts of ...
