These craters were formed by a Sept. 5, 2021, meteoroid impact on Mars, the first to be detected by NASA’s InSight. Taken by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, this enhanced-color image highlights the dust and soil disturbed by the impact in
Infrared images of Mars captured by the space telescope show its surface features and hint at its chemistry. The James Webb Space Telescope’s first images of Mars were captured by its NIRCam instrument on Sept. 5, 2022 (Image credit: NASA, ESA,
Wedged in between these Red Planet features are channels that may have been formed by water or lava. Strange icy ridges imaged by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter may show proof of dust, water or wind, depending on where you look. (Image
Mars has about 500 known ancient lake beds, but there could be more than 1,000 such ‘paleolakes’ still undetected. Hundreds of ancient lakes might be lurking undetected on Mars, a new study suggests. (Image credit: Mark Garlick/Science Photo Library via Getty
