While we savoured a dusty photo beamed back to Earthshortly after its landing, the spacecraft has sent another photo home, showing us a clearer glimpse of the red planet's surface. SEE ALSO:Watch the electrifying moment InSight lands on Mars from mission control ...
An amazing new Mars image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope shows clouds, craters, ice caps and other features on the Red Planet. Hubble took the photo on May 12, when Mars was just 50 million miles (80 million kilometers) from Earth. That's quite close in the cosmic scheme of th...
After escaping Earth's gravitational pull, the journey takes about four days to arrive at the moon. But Firefly intends to spend a couple of weeks in lunar orbit before dropping Blue Ghost, named after an exotic type of firefly, to the surface. The procedure to descend is expected to take...

Inside the crushed stone were yellow crystals of sulfur. Because the sulfur on Earth comes from hot springs and volcanoes, neither of which have been found on Mars, the JPL team has yet to come up with an explanation for the element's existence on the world. "We looked a...
Google Earth recently became involved, too, collaborating with the Haughton Mars Project (HMP) to create Street View imagery of the island so that we can all explore this wonderfully unique landscape. Google’s Katja Minitsenka, who led the Street View project on Devon Island, described the sci...
These eye-catching formations have been spotted on other areas of Mars. While the spiders capture the imagination, the polygon formations are also fascinating, even if they're less flashy. Researchers have spotted similar forms in cold Earth environments subject to water freeze-thaw cycles. ...
