  Curiosity Rover Finds Evidence of Liquid Water on Mars, Expanding Habitability Timeline

  Reports from NASA’s Curiosity rover reveal evidence of ancient liquid water on Mars, challenging previous models. Images from Gale Crater show wave-like ripples, similar to Earth’s lakebeds. Scientists suggest the findings indicate Mars once had a denser atmosphere, which allowed liquid water to exist longer than previously believed. This disco...

  Curiosity Rover Observes Iridescent Clouds on Mars, Offering New Insights

  NASA’s Curiosity rover has captured rare iridescent clouds drifting across the Martian sky, observed at high altitudes in twilight conditions. These carbon dioxide ice clouds were seen forming between 60 and 80 kilometres above the surface before evaporating as they descended. Scientists believe their presence hints at unknown cooling mechanisms ...

  NASA's Curiosity Rover Explores Mars' Texoli Butte Amid New Challenges

  NASA's Curiosity Rover is navigating the northern end of Texoli Butte on Mars, uncovering ancient sedimentary layers. Recent challenges forced the rover to stop its drive earlier than planned, delaying some imaging tasks. Despite this, scientific efforts continued, focusing on "Avalon," a dark bedrock vein, long-range imaging, and environmental obs...

  NASA's Curiosity Rover Provides Insights into Mars' Uninhabitable Climate

  NASA's Curiosity rover is providing new insights into how Mars transformed from a potentially habitable planet, abundant in liquid water, to the inhospitable landscape seen today. Researchers discovered that carbon-rich minerals found in Gale Crater indicate extreme evaporation and suggest the planet's climate could support only transient liquid wa...

  Mars May Have Been Habitable in the Past, NASA Rover Observations Suggest Water Presence: Scientists

  Mars may have seen dry and wet season cycles and thus, may have been habitable at some point in its past, according to scientists. Analysis of mud crack patterns on the early Martian surface, observed by NASA's Curiosity Rover, suggest an irregular or episodic presence of water, meaning water could have been present for a time and then evaporated.
