“Curiosity was captured in what is believed to be the first orbital image of the rover mid-drive across the Red Planet.” NASA’s Curiosity rover appears as a dark speck in this contrast-enhanced view captured on Feb. 28, 2025, by the
The rock has hundreds of spherules on it, some of which have tiny pinholes. Perseverance acquired this image of the “St. Pauls Bay” target (the dark-toned float block in the right of the view) using its Left Mastcam-Z camera, one

“On Earth, these types of features in rocks are often associated with the fossilized record of microbes living in the subsurface.” NASA’s Perseverance rover has discovered a rock on Mars that may have once hosted microbial life. The rock, nicknamed
Artificial intelligence is helping scientists to identify minerals within rocks studied by the Perseverance rover. Some scientists dream of exploring planets with “smart” spacecraft that know exactly what data to look for, where to find it, and how to analyze
Four scientists emerged to cheers and applause on Saturday after spending 378 days in isolation, simulating a mission to Mars in NASA’s “Martian” habitat in Houston, Texas. Anca Selariu, Ross Brockwell, Nathan Jones and team leader Kelly Haston conducted “Marswalks” and
