A discovery of large carbon deposits on Mars has recently been reported by NASA - and it suggests the planet was once habitable to life. NASA’s Curiosity Rover has collected evidence of a carbon ...

While ascending Mount Sharp, NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has had to swing around a small ridgeline dubbed "Devil’s Gate." On its 4,500th sol (or Martian day), NASA's Mars rover Curiosity ...

A treasure trove of clues from Curiosity reveals that ancient Mars once trapped massive amounts of CO2 in its crust, thanks to surprising concentrations of iron carbonate deep in Gale Crater. By ...

Tutolo led a new study of rock samples collected by the Curiosity rover that might have answered this question. The mystery of Mars’ missing carbon stems from two seemingly conflicting results.

The Curiosity rover, which landed on Mars in 2012 to explore whether Earth's planetary neighbor was ever able to support microbial life, found the mineral in rock samples drilled at three ...
