NASA’s Curiosity Rover Concludes Sulphur Study in Gediz Vallis; Mars Journey Continues
NASA’s Curiosity rover has completed its study of Mars’ Gediz Vallis channel, capturing key images of the sulphur deposits discovered within. The rover's next mission will explore a unique geological formation called the Boxwork. Located in the foothills of Mount Sharp, Gediz Vallis is important for understanding the transition from Mars’ wet...

NASA's Perseverance Rover Captures View of a Big Mars Cater
NASA's Perseverance rover, currently navigating the western rim of Jezero Crater on Mars, recently captured a breathtaking panoramic view of the landscape. Since landing in 2021, Perseverance has been exploring the 28-mile-wide crater, hoping to find evidence of ancient microbial life. The ascent has presented unique challenges for the rover, but e...

NASA Study Suggests Microbial Life May Thrive Beneath Martian Ice
NASA's study explores how Martian ice could harbour life by creating meltwater pockets beneath the surface that allow photosynthesis. Dust within the ice might absorb sunlight, warming it enough to create these pockets. The findings highlight the possibility of microbial life in Mars’ tropical regions, where sunlight may penetrate deep into the i...

NASA's Study Suggests Life Could Thrive Beneath Ice in Mars
NASA's latest study proposes that meltwater beneath Mars' icy surface could sustain microbial life. Researchers utilised advanced computer modelling to demonstrate that sunlight can penetrate water ice enough to allow photosynthesis in shallow meltwater pools. These pools, which may form in the Martian tropics, could provide a protective environmen...

Earth's Crust is ‘Dripping’ Beneath Turkey’s Konya Basin, Revealing Unique Geological Phenomenon
Researchers have uncovered a remarkable geological phenomenon beneath Türkiye’s Central Anatolian Plateau, where dense materials from Earth’s crust are detaching and sinking into the mantle below. This process, known as multi-stage lithospheric dripping, has been shaping the Konya Basin’s surface and provides crucial insights into Earth’s ...

Mars Gravity Maps Shows Strange Hidden Structures Underneath the Surface
Scientists have unveiled a new gravity map of Mars, revealing hidden structures beneath the surface and active processes affecting Olympus Mons. The map, presented at the Europlanet Science Congress 2024, challenges traditional geological models and shows dense structures under Mars' northern polar plains. Researchers suggest that a mantle plume mi...

China Aims to Launch Tianwen-3 Mars Sample-Return Mission in 2028, Surpassing US in Space Race
China is preparing to launch its Tianwen-3 mission around 2028, aiming to return samples from Mars. Liu Jizhong, Chief Designer, shared details at the Tiandu Forum in Huangshan City, Anhui Province. The mission will involve collecting samples from the Martian surface, returning them to Earth through a docking process in Mars’ orbit. Liu also high...

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...
