While there's more science to come from InSight, here are three findings about our red neighbor in the sky. Faint Rumblings Are the Norm: InSight's seismometer is sensitive enough to detect slight rumblings from great distances. But i...
25 (Xinhua) -- NASA has published a set of six papers this week describing its InSight lander's findings above and below the surface of Mars. These findings reveal a planet alive with quakes, dust devils and strange magnetic pulses, according to a release of NASA's Jet Propulsion ...
NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover took this selfie, made up of 62 individual images, on July 23. A rock nicknamed “Cheyava Falls,” which has features that may bear on the question of whether the Red Planet was long ago home to microscopic life, is to the left of the rover near the c...
As the rover ascends the steep slopes of the crater rim, it continues to uncover diverse geological formations, including potential ancient rocks uplifted by past impacts. These findings promise to unravel the mysteries of Martian history. Unveiling Martian Mysteries: The Striped Rock Last week, tea...
This latest clue may be a sign of findings to come as Curiosity heads toward a region called the “sulfate-bearing unit,” which is expected to have formed in an even drier environment. It represents a stark difference from lower down the mountain, where Curiosity discovered evidence of persis...
NASA’s Mars orbiter MAVEN saved in a ‘race against time’ Watch NASA drop capsule from 1,200 feet to test Mars Sample Return system The findings were reported this week in the journal Science. The study’s lead author, Colin Dundas of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Astrogeology Science ...

The team says they based their findings on images the rover took of sediment that gathered at the end of an ancient river that fed a lake inside the Jezero Crater. The photos, taken during a landing on February 18 and published on Thursday, suggest that billions of years ago, Mars had ...
