NASA’s Curiosity rover has found new evidence preserved in rocks on Mars that suggests the planet could have supported ancient life, as well as new evidence in the Martian atmosphere that relates […]
NASA is about to go on a journey to study the interior of Mars. The space agency held a news conference today at its Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, detailing […]
NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has begun extra stargazing to help the space agency accomplish advances in Mars exploration over the next decade. The spacecraft already has worked more than double its […]
Two new Oxford University papers have shed light on why there is no life on Mars. When searching for life, scientists first look for an element key to sustaining it: fresh water. […]
Recently named the best place to work in the federal government for the fourth year in a row, NASA is looking for the best candidates to work in the best job on […]
Vast valley networks on Mars have suggested that water may have flowed there for millions of years. Now a study at Brown University suggests the valleys could have been carved by much […]
NASA is leading our nation and the world on a journey to Mars, and last week the agency released a detailed outline of that plan in its report, “NASA’s Journey to Mars: Pioneering […]
A primitive ocean on Mars held more water than Earth’s Arctic Ocean, according to NASA scientists who, using ground-based observatories, measured water signatures in the Red Planet’s atmosphere. Scientists have been searching […]
Possible Methane Sources and Sinks Source: NASA This illustration portrays possible ways that methane might be added to Mars’ atmosphere (sources) and removed from the atmosphere (sinks). NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has […]
In the cosmic equivalent of a hole-in-one, the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) last week guided Mangalyaan, a 1365kg space vessel 680 million kilometres away from Earth and successfully placed it in […]
