A new Astrobiology study suggests non biological processes may not fully explain organic molecules found by NASA’s Curiosity rover on Mars. Could ancient life be a possible answer?

NASA’s Perseverance Rover has taken a drive around Mars that was entirely mapped out by Generative AI with no input from humans.

Mars’ water disappeared somewhere, but scientists have been disagreeing for years about where exactly it went. Data from rovers like Perseverance and Curiosity, along with orbiting satellites such as ...

In a new study, researchers say that nonbiological sources they considered could not fully account for the abundance of ...

A northern summer dust storm on Mars boosted high-altitude water escape, suggesting short-lived events may play a bigger role ...

Mars today is a cold, dry desert, but its surface tells a very different story. Ancient river channels, lake basins, and ...

Dave Hendricks of Idaho Falls spent his entire 35-year career working in the Idaho desert at Idaho National Laboratory. It’s the only place he ever worked. But that single workplace opened doors he ...

In 2018, a massive dust storm spread across Mars and slowly cut off sunlight to NASA’s Opportunity rover. As dust covered its solar panels, the rover’s power dropped until communication was lost ...

Scientists have spent decades searching for the final resting place of Luna 9, the first spacecraft to soft-land on the moon. Now they’re on the cusp of finding it ...

Northern hemisphere dust storm appears to have provided an avenue for water escape on Mars in Martian Year 37.

The current image of Mars as an arid and hostile desert contrasts sharply with the history revealed by its surface. Channels, minerals altered by water, and other geological traces indicate that the R ...
