Perseverance Rover Sees Phobos Block the Sun During Martian Solar Eclipse
NASA's Perseverance rover recently captured a stunning solar eclipse on Mars, showcasing the moon Phobos as it partially blocked the sun. This remarkable event, photographed on September 30, 2024, was made possible by the rover's Left Mastcam-Z camera, which highlighted Phobos's irregular shape. Measuring about 17 miles long and orbiting Mars at a ...

NASA Study Suggests Life May Exist On Mars Below Ice Surface
Is there life on Mars? Scientists have been seeking an answer to this question for a long time. Although no concrete evidence has been found till date, a latest study by NASA has sparked curiosity.

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...

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...

NASA Perseverance Rover Discovers Strange Zebra-Striped Rock on Mars
NASA's Perseverance rover recently captured images of a unique black-and-white striped rock on Mars, dubbed Freya Castle. This 20 cm-wide rock is unlike anything seen on the Red Planet before, leading scientists to believe it may have been formed through igneous or metamorphic processes. The discovery is part of Perseverance's Crater Rim Campaign, ...

NASA Researcher to Study Gravity’s Impact on Plants Aboard Blue Origin's Suborbital Rocket
In a historic first, a NASA-funded researcher will fly aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard suborbital rocket to study how gravitational changes impact plant biology. Rob Ferl from the University of Florida will lead the experiment, activating tubes pre-loaded with plants and preservatives during the flight to capture how plants respond to different ...

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...

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...

Mars Rover Data Confirms Ancient Lake Sediments On Red Planet
NASA's rover Perseverance has gathered data confirming the existence of ancient lake sediments deposited by water that once filled a giant basin on Mars called Jerezo Crater, according to a study published on Friday.

Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin Gets Its First NASA Contract For Mars Mission
Blue Origin, the private space company founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos, was awarded its first interplanetary NASA contract on Thursday to launch a mission next year to study the magnetic field around Mars, the USspace agency and company said.

NASA Formally Retires Mars InSight Lander 4 Years After Its Arrival on Red Planet
NASA has formally retired its Mars InSight lander, the first robotic probe specially designed to study the deep interior of a distant world, four years after it arrived on the surface of the red planet, the US space agency announced on Wednesday. Mission controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) near Los Angeles determined the mission ...

What Does Mars Sound Like? Rover Microphone Has Recorded the Red Planet’s Dust Devils
Dust devils, known to appear on Mars since the 1970s, have been observed both from the ground and from orbit. Thanks to a new study led by Naomi Murdoch of Toulouse University in France, we now know what these dust devils sound like. Here's everything you need to know about dust storms on Mars and what they sound like.

Sound Of A Dust Devil On Mars Recorded For First Time
The sound of a dust devil on Mars was recorded for the first time as the eye of the whirlwind swept over the top of NASA's Perseverance rover, a new study said Tuesday.

Mars Once Had Ocean-Like Water On Its Surface, Claims Study
A new study has claimed that Mars once had a global ocean up to 300 metres (almost 1,000 feet) deep, 4.5 billion years ago, if not more.
