China's Zhurong Rover Helps Find Evidence of Potential Ancient Shoreline on Mars
China's Zhurong rover has found what might be the shoreline of an ancient Martian ocean, offering fresh support for theories that Mars once had vast bodies of water. Studying images and radar data from Utopia Planitia, the largest impact basin on Mars, scientists identified geological features that resemble coastlines, including pitted cones, troug...

Perseverance Rover Captures Bizarre Mars Rock That Looks Like a Human Head
NASA’s Perseverance rover has made a bizarre discovery on Mars: a rock that strikingly resembles a human head. Captured on 27 September 2024, the image showcases the rock's peculiar shape and orientation, which play tricks on our brains, a phenomenon known as pareidolia. This occurrence leads us to see familiar patterns, like faces, in random obj...

Underground Reservouir on Mars Could Fill Oceans on Planet's Surface, Study Reveals
Recent research based on data from NASA’s InSight mission has identified a substantial underground reservoir on Mars. This reservoir, located between 7 and 12 miles below the Martian surface, could hold enough water to cover the planet to a depth of 1 mile. The data, gathered by InSight’s seismometer between 2018 and 2022, suggests that water i...

NASA's Mars InSight Lander Data Reveals Surprising Results About Possibility of Life on the Red Planet
According to a recent study conducted by the researchers at the University of California San Diego, Mars' subsurface has little to no evidence of water. The surprising results were derived after studying the seismic data from NASA's Mars InSight mission. The InSight lander studies the subsurface of the red planet digging roughly 300 meters beneath ...

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Spots "Ear" of the Red Planet
While NASA might not have been successful in finding signs of life on the Red planet yet, it has revealed an intriguing image captured by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spaceship. The onboard High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRise) camera spotted a funky crater shaped like an ear.

NASA’s Curiosity and Perseverance Rovers Must Dig Deeper for Signs of Ancient Life on Mars, Say Researchers
NASA's Curiosity and Perseverance rovers sent by the space agency to explore Mars have been able to detect organic matter in the past. While this isn't considered concrete evidence to prove that life once thrived on the Red Planet, researchers have concluded that rovers might have to dig a bit deeper to unearth the signs of ancient life, as part of...

Clay-Bearing Sediments on Mars Indicate Life May Have Thrived on the Red Planet Billion Years Ago
Scientists, in a latest study, have found a region on the Red Planet that might have been “repeatedly habitable” until relatively late in Martian History. They have discovered the clay-bearing sediments within the Margaritifer Terra region of Mars. The region has some of the most extensively preserved landforms that were created by running wate...

Is That an Alien Lying Down on Mars or Just an Illusion? Report Debunks Rumours
NASA's Mars rover Perseverance has spotted an alien on the Red Planet, as per rounds of speculation on the social media. The rumours started when a blog writer suggested he spotted a man hanging out on Mars, casually lying down on the Martian surface amid giant rocks, in an image sent originally by the NASA rover last year.
