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 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's Perseverance Rover Ascends Jezero Crater, Exploring Mars' Ancient Terrain
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...

NASA’s Mars Rover Curiosity Shows What Looks Like an Alien Door on the Red Planet
NASA's Curiosity rover is finding some sneaky details on the planet. Curiosity keeps sending images from Mars to scientists on Earth. The current shots show a rather curious detail in the rocky terrains of the planet. From the photos, it seems like Curiosity stumbled upon a perfectly carved door among the Martian rocks.

Mars Rover Perseverance From NASA Attempting Most Difficult Touchdown Yet
NASA’s Perseverance rover is headed for a compact patch on the edge of an ancient river delta on Mars. The once-submerged terrain also could hold evidence of past life, all the more reason to gather samples at this spot for return to Earth 10 years from now.
