NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars has captured an amazing panorama of Gale Crater's rim and more from Mt. Sharp. The rover ...

Researchers argue that the presence of long chain carbon molecules on Mars "cannot be readily explained" by non-biological processes alone.

One might not imagine such a time being conducive to the existence of fragile lifeforms, yet it is likely to be the era in which Mars was most habitable ...

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?

The Deep Space Network enables communication with all the missions in space, from telescopes like Hubble to rovers and ...

There are no simple solutions on the Martian surface. It is the kind of environment where you would expect molecules to decompose rather than endure—dusty, ...

Organic compounds discovered on the Red Planet cannot be fully explained by non-biological sources, say astrobiologists.

A year ago, NASA announced that its Mars rover Curiosity had discovered long-chain organic compounds. Their quantity suggests ...

Scientists studying a rock sample collected by NASA’s Curiosity rover have uncovered something tantalizing: the largest organic molecules ever detected on Mars. The compounds — decane, undecane, and ...

Organic compounds found in Mars rocks are too abundant to rule out the possibility of Martian life in the red planet’s history, NASA scientists say. In March of 2025, NASA’s Curiosity rover ...

Hubble keeps returning to the Egg Nebula because it changes in ways astronomers can actually track over years and decades. By comparing images taken at different times, scientists can see dust shift, ...
