Explosive volcanic eruptions on early Mars may have transported water ice to equatorial regions, according to a modeling study published in Nature Communications. The authors suggest that these ...

Jezero Crater’s rocks reveal three stages of water activity, shifting from hostile acidic fluids to more life-friendly alkaline ones. Perseverance’s discoveries guide future sampling and strengthen ...

"The results reported here can be crucial when down-selecting which samples, if not all, are returned to Earth." Only a little over a week after scientists announced NASA's Perseverance rover may have ...

New research using NASA's Perseverance rover has uncovered strong evidence that Mars' Jezero Crater experienced multiple episodes of fluid activity—each with conditions that could have supported life.

This image composed from multiple exposures and provided by NSF's NOIRLab shows a comet streaking across a star field above the International Gemini Observatory on Cerro Pachon, near La Serena, Chile.

What if Mars’ interior was not so much a neat layered cake but a shattered dessert with shards of its former self still rooted deep within? That is the picture emerging from NASA’s InSight mission, ...
