Cosmic Rays Could Erase Signs of Life on Mars, Study Reveals
A new study highlights how cosmic radiation is destroying signs of ancient life on Mars. Organic materials like lipids degrade quickly under radiation, especially in salt-rich environments. Scientists suggest future Mars exploration should focus on deeper drilling, such as ESA's upcoming Rosalind Franklin Rover mission, to avoid surface radiation e...

Chinese Rover Uncovers Evidence Supporting Theory of a Vast Ancient Ocean on Mars
China’s Zhurong rover has discovered formations on Mars that could signal the remnants of a once vast ocean. Landing in the Utopia Planitia region, the rover identified formations commonly linked to past water presence, supporting the theory that Mars was once home to a massive body of water. While the findings do not offer definitive proof, they...

European Space Agency Shares Pic Of 'Smiley Face' Spotted On Mars
The European Space Agency's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, a Martian satellite on a quest to uncover signs of life on the Red Planet, shared the images.

Mars Meteorite Analysed for Signs Of Life: Here's What Scientists Found
Lund University, Sweden, researchers investigated a 1.3 billion-year-old meteorite from Mars and found it had limited exposure to water. In other words, the existence of life at that specific time and place was unlikely.

Mars Exploration Runs Risk Of Being Fooled By False Fossils, Researchers Say
Mars has now emerged as the new frontier, with most space-faring nations focussing on the exploration of the Red Planet. The idea behind exploring Mars is to find signs of life, understand its climate, and figure out natural resources. However, a new research suggests that explorers looking for ancient life on Mars could be misled by specimens that...

NASA's Curiosity Rover Captures Stunning Image of Martian Clouds at Twilight
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.

NASA Mars Rover Perseverance Makes Historic Landing, to Look for Signs of Ancient Microbial Life
NASA's Mars rover Perseverance, the most advanced astrobiology lab ever sent to another world, streaked through the Martian atmosphere on Thursday and landed safely inside a vast crater, the first stop on a search for traces of ancient microbial life on the Red Planet.

NASA Mars Rover Perseverance Is Brawniest and Brainiest One Yet, to Lift Off on July 30
NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover, set for lift off this Thursday, is the space agency’s most advanced Martian probe yet. Its super-sanitised sample return tubes — for rocks that could hold evidence of past Martian life — are the cleanest items ever bound for space.

Mars 2020 Rover Will Visit the Perfect Spot to Find Signs of Life, New Studies Show
Two new studies offer a tantalising suggestion that Mars 2020 could find even stronger evidence of Martian life - if it ever existed.
-
Signs Of Martian Life May Be Hidden Deep Below Planet Surface
Signs of life may be present deep inside the surface of Mars, rather that in rocks excavated by some meteorite impacts, a new study suggests.

Failure To Find Life On Earth Bad News For Mars Hunters
Can not finding signs of life at a place on Earth that closely resembles the area on Red Planet a bad news for those trying to find life on the Martian surface? Yes, say researchers, suggesting that the failure to find active microbes in the coldest Antarctic soils on Earth has implications for search for life on Mars.

NASA says weird Mars lights are not a sign of life
A NASA robot has snapped pictures showing glints of light on the Martian horizon, which some UFO enthusiasts have seized on as a sign of alien life on the Red Planet.
