Martian Crater

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...

NASA’s Perseverance rover has initiated a critical new mission on Mars, beginning its ascent to the summit of Jezero Crater after three and half years of exploring its floor. This six-wheeled rover aims to reach the crater’s rim, which rises 1,000 feet above the Martian surface. The climb presents significant challenges, with Perseverance navig...

Future drilling into the Martian soil could unlock the mysteries hidden beneath, offering a glimpse into Mars' potential for past or even present life.

The Mastcam-Z instrument aboard the Perseverance rover collected 152 images while looking deep into Belva Crater, and stitched them into a video.

A composite image was created by piecing together hundreds of images taken with Perseverance's Mastcam-Z instrument.

American Space Agency NASA's Perseverance rover has discovered stunning Martian rocks in the Jezero crater on the Red Planet that may have life-related traces.

NASA's Curiosity rover launched on November 26, 2011, and made its descent on the Martian surface on August 5, 2012. The rover has so far covered 29 kilometres and ascended 625 metres on the Gale crater, where it landed.

NASA's Reconnaissance Orbiter has captured an intriguing picture of Mars. Taken near the centre of the Gamboa Crater on the Red Planet, the image features some blue ripples on the planet with red surface. According to NASA, the picture is called a false-colour image that helps scientists learn about the weather and geology.

Scientists announced Tuesday they had found the crater from which the oldest known Martian meteorite was originally blasted towards Earth, a discovery that could provide clues into how our own planet was formed.

NASA's Perseverance had managed to film a phenomenon where gusts of wind lifted a massive Martian dust cloud. It has also detected hundreds of dust winds using the camera mounted on it and a suite of sensors.

NASA on Monday released a stunning image of a Mars crater, which has left netizens in complete awe. "The Martian crater marks the spot," the space agency wrote in the caption of the Instagram image.

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has been feeding us with several discoveries from the Red Planet ever since it landed on it in February this year. After nearly 10 months of driving around the Jezero Crater, researchers are beginning to understand that the region had been formed from red-hot magma, possibly from a long-dormant Martian volcano.

NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover said it has seen something “no one has ever seen.” In an update via Twitter, Perseverance said it scratched the Martian surface with a tool attached to its robotic arm while wandering around the Jezero Crater in search of evidence of interest to scientists. When it looked underneath the rock it found something tha...

The European Space Agency (ESA) has shared stunning images of one of the biggest impact basins in the Solar System, located on Mars. Hellas, with a diameter of 1,430 miles (2,300km) and a depth of over 4.3 miles (7km), is believed to have formed between 3.8 billion and 4.1 billion years ago after a large asteroid hit the surface of Mars.

NASA's Curiosity Rover that touched down on Mars in 2021 continues to share stunning pictures of Mars. The latest of the Martian clouds was captured by the rover's navigation camera at the beginning of the Gale crater's cloudy season.
