Perseverance Mars Rover

NASA's Perseverance rover has captured a rare astronomical event in which the Martian moon Phobos passed in front of the Sun, creating a visual reminiscent of a "googly eye." This event, observed from the Jezero Crater, provided insights into the dynamics of Mars' moons. Phobos, the larger of Mars' two moons, obscured the Sun's disc for approximate...

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 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 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’s Perseverance rover has made a bizarre discovery on Mars: a rock that strikingly resembles a human head. Captured on 27 September 2024, the image showcases the rock's peculiar shape and orientation, which play tricks on our brains, a phenomenon known as pareidolia. This occurrence leads us to see familiar patterns, like faces, in random obj...

Mars, Earth's closest neighbor, has long captivated human imagination with the possibility of extraterrestrial life just a short rocket journey away.

NASA's Curiosity rover has been traversing Mars for over 12 years, and its wheels have endured significant wear and tear. Recent images reveal extensive damage, including dents and tears, yet the rover continues to function effectively. Since its landing in Gale Crater in 2012, Curiosity has travelled approximately 20 miles (32 kilometres) over rug...

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's Mars Perseverance Rover recently discovered a strange "zebra rock" on Mars' Jezero crater that's nothing like any rock seen on the Red Planet before.

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...

The rover recently discovered a rock sample, nicknamed "Cheyava Falls," which contains organic molecules and structures that could have been formed by microbial life.

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

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.

Ingenuity was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida on July 30, 2020, and landed onMars'Jezero Crater onFebruary 18, 2021.

"From getting my PhD at MIT to knocking 100s of doors to get hired full-time at NASA, nothing came easy," Dr Akshata Krishnamurthy said.
