A NASA rover taking rock samples on Mars has uncovered a plentiful mineral that was invisible to orbiters studying the Red Planet from space. Scientists say the discovery of siderite, a type of ...

Here’s the latest dirt on Mars. NASA’s trusty Curiosity rover, which has been exploring the so-called red planet for years, just unearthed something huge — a stash of carbon-rich carbonate ...

All evidence points to Mars having had a carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere billions of years ago, but insufficient carbonates in Martian soil challenge this theory. Now, a new study using data from ...

Their names: Red Planet I, II and III. For the world’s richest man, who is pursuing an elaborate, decades-long plan to colonize Mars, this seemed no idle corporate filing. When Musk bought ...

Nasa's Perseverance rover discovered a skull-shaped rock, dubbed "Skull Hill," in Mars' Jezero Crater, standing out against the lighter terrain. Chemical analysis ruled out meteorite composition ...

Scientific studies at the Jezero Crater enabled researchers to study Mars’ weather changes. Mars features dust devils due to temperature difference-driven warm air columns, which simultaneously rise ...

NASA's Curiosity rover made an intriguing discovery while gently climbing Mount Sharp that may provide hints about prehistoric life on Mars. Large carbon reserves that were trapped inside ...

On Earth and Mars, iron and magnesium are some of the main contributors to igneous rocks, which form from the cooling of magma or lava,' the space agency said. 'These rocks can include dark ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover was spotted making tracks on Mars’ surface in a new photo. Taken in February, the rover is seen as a tiny black speck as it makes its way to its next destination.
