Water On Planet

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 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...

Recent research has shifted our understanding of water distribution on rocky exoplanets. The study reveals that up to 95 percent of a planet’s water could be sequestered deep within its molten iron core, challenging previous assumptions about water-rich worlds. This finding raises the possibility that much more water is hidden within the planet, ...

Water has now been found across Mars in various forms- here are five locations where it has been detected.

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...

The European Space Agency's ExoMars and Mars Express missions orbiting the planet captured over 30,000 images of the water frost.

The discovery was made using the Atacama Large Millimetre/ sub-millimetre Array (ALMA), which helped scientists zoom in on the water vapour.

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.

In a breakthrough, NASA astronomers have identified the smallest exoplanet using a Hubble Space Telescope where water vapour has been detected in the atmosphere.

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has captured images of Pluto, revealing a 44-kilometer-wide crater that displays indications of recent volcanic activity.

One-third of the planets orbiting the most common stars across the Milky Way galaxy may hold onto liquid water and possibly harbour life, according to a study based on latest telescope data.

China's fully robotic rover on Mars has, for the first time, found traces of recent water activity on the Red Planet, indicating that Mars has a few areas where conditions are suitable for life to exist.

After more than ten years on Mars, the Curiosity rover is still operating normally and discovering facts that contradict earlier theories.

For the first time, scientists have estimated how many people on the planet are at risk from these floods, and they have discovered that more than half of these populations reside in India, Pakistan, China, and Peru.

SWOT will blast off from southern California on December 15 and will map the planet's surface water resources better than ever before.
