NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has captured dramatic footage of Phobos, Mars’ potato-shaped moon, crossing the face of the Sun. These observations can help scientists better understand the moon’s orbit and how its gravity pulls on the Martian surface.
NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has captured images of sun rays shining through the clouds at sunset, the first time this type of light has ever been observed on the Red Planet. Mars is known for being gloomy with the atmosphere often chocked up with dust so it’s rare to get visible ...
Both panoramas showcase "Glen Torridon," a region on the side of Mount Sharp that Curiosity is exploring. It required more than 6.5 hours over the four days for Curiosity to capture the individual shots. Mastcam operators programmed the complex task list, which included pointing the rover's ...
For twelve years, we've watched Curiosity crawl its way over the rocky surface of Mars, decoding mysteries of the Red Planet and broadcasting back home pictures and data from the strange Martian environment. The Mars rover, built by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), has...
NASA’s Mars science rover Curiosity performed a daredevil descent through pink Martian skies late on Sunday to clinch an historic landing inside an ancient crater, …
