NASA’s Viking Mission May Have Destroyed Martian Life with Water Experiments
In 1975, NASA’s Viking mission tested Martian soil for microbial life using liquid water. A recent theory suggests this approach may have destroyed microbes adapted to Mars' dry, salt-driven conditions. Astrobiologist Dirk Schulze-Makuch proposes revisiting our assumptions about life on Mars and prioritising methods suited to its hyperarid enviro...

NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover Uncovers Distinct Red Rocks with Green Spots at 'Serpentine Rapids'
NASA's Mars Perseverance rover has unveiled intriguing findings at Serpentine Rapids, a location characterised by its striking red rocks interspersed with distinctive green spots. These features, observed in a nighttime mosaic captured by the rover's SHERLOC WATSON camera, may provide insights into Mars' geological history. The green spots are thou...

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...

US Scientists Find Reservoir Of Liquid Water On Mars
An immense reservoir of liquid water may reside deep under the surface of Mars within fractured igneous rocks, holding enough to fill an ocean that would cover the entire surface of Earth's planetary neighbor.

Scientists Have Found New Evidence For Liquid Water On Mars. Details Here
An international team of researchers has found new evidence for the possible existence of liquid water beneath the south polar ice cap of Mars.

Liquid Water Found On Mars: Underground Lake Discovery Makes Waves
Using a satellite to peer beneath layers of dust and ice at Mars' south pole, scientists have detected a 12-mile-wide span of briny water, a large, stable reservoir akin to lakes buried beneath the Antarctic ice sheet on Earth.

First Lake Of Liquid Water Discovered On Mars
A massive underground lake has been detected for the first time on Mars, raising the possibility that more water -- and maybe even life -- exists there, international astronomers said Wednesday.

Liquid Water Carved Deep Canyons On Mars
Dramatic climate cycles on early Mars, triggered by buildup of greenhouse gases, may have caused liquid water to carve out deep canyons and extensive valley networks on the red planet's surface, scientists including one of Indian origin have found.

Study: Mars Might Not Hold Water After All
Remember the "recurring slope lineae?" Nope? How about "liquid water on Mars"?
-
Mars Gullies Sculpted By Dry Ice, Not Liquid Water
Gullies on Mars may be formed by dry ice processes rather than flowing liquid water, as previously thought, a new study has found.

Mars Colonisation Still Far Off, Says Nasa Scientist Amitabh Ghosh
Though the discovery of liquid water on Mars opens up immense possibilities, colonisation of the red planet is still a distant possibility.

This is What the Award Winning Home Design For Mars Looks Like
A 3D printed ice shelter designed for Mars, which aims to rely on the red planet's predicted liquid water and low temperatures, has won the first-place award of USD 25,000 in NASA's Mars habitat design competition.

The Harsh Truth About Mars Water and NASA's 'Journey to Mars'
Ephemeral brine on Mars! Hmmm. That doesn't quite have the same ring as "water on Mars!" The latter formulation sounds like a paradigm-buster. Mars was supposed to be a desert wasteland, lifeless, cold, with almost no atmosphere. But Monday NASA announced new evidence for seasonal liquid water on the surface of Mars - after teasing everyone with a ...

New Evidence of Liquid Water on Mars Confirmed by NASA
NASA on Monday announced new evidence that could confirm the presence of liquid water on the red planet, increasing the possibility that astronauts journeying to Mars could rely on the planet's own water for their drinking needs.

Nasa's Curiosity Rover Data Boosts Hope for Liquid Water on Mars
The clue comes from the presence in the soil of calcium perchlorate, Nasa researchers said.
