NASA launches its new project called AI4 Mars which involves volunteers looking through pictures of Mars and naming the rocks and other surface features as a way of training the AI algorithm of the rover.
The Curiosity rover of NASA just occupied what's described as a "major milestone on Mars." And, to celebrate such an achievement, it took a selfie of itself.
Curiosity rover captures unique footage of strong dusty winds on Mars. NASA believes these storms are the reason behind the Giant Mountain formation in Mar's Gale Crater
The team in charge of the Curiosity rover recently had to find a new route to some interesting rocks that they wanted to study because the original path proved too difficult for the rover to safely traverse.
NASA's Curiosity Rover has been on the move heading towards some interesting rocks for further study. However, its chosen path proved to be too difficult for it to traverse due to the slippery slopes of the Martian mountain. However, scientists in charge of the mission were able to find a new path to the rocks that proved much safer and easier for the rover.
NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars has detected perchlorate compounds that are able to lower the freezing point of water, allowing it to remain in liquid form near the surface. Based on the data collected from the rover, researchers believe that liquid salt water may actually exist close to the surface.
