SPACESince 2015, NASA has been engaging scientists and engineers to determine deposits of water ice on Mars that could be within reach of astronauts on the surface of the planet.
Scientists explain why there are Earth-like natural phenomenons occurring on the Red Planet. Centuries after Galileo first made observations of Mars, the planet seemed for most, a dark, dusty, and dead planet.
NASA and the Canadian Space Agency are teaming up to give $500,000 to ideas of food production in space under their joint program, the "Deep Space Food Challenge."
Researchers found a common Martian mineral in an ice core from Antarctica. Researchers found a Martian mineral from Antarctica within an ice core. The finding indicates that minerals were forged in the same manner on both Earth and Mars in the shape of a delicate, yellow-brown powder known as jarosite.
Solar Orbiter has captured a brilliant view of Earth, Mars, and Venus in just a single frame. European Space Agency shared the stunning video on the website.
NASA's orbiter first discovered the Happy Face crater in 2011, and just a decade after, astronomers said that the smile has gotten much bigger due to thermal erosion.
NASA's InSight "mole" mission has come to an end. The historic heat probe instrument landed in Mars over 2 years ago. But NASA has called an end to the mission due the harsh innards on the surface of Mars making the spacecraft stuck and difficult to go forward.
The Perseverance rover, the core of the $2.7-billion Mars 2020 mission of NASA, is slated to land on February 18, kicking off a new Red Planet exploration era.
In 2020, NASA trained an AI that will help them find fresh craters on Mars. In late last year, NASA announced that it would train artificial intelligence (AI) to help find fresh craters on Mars.
Scientists are trying to recreate Martian soil conditions on Earth to find a way of stimulating plant growth on the Red Planet for future manned missions.
Mars was thought of as a dead planet during the 1960s and 1970s but the Marsquakes and landslides observed in the later years have proven that it is still an active planet.
Mars Digger was expected to dig 16ft into Mars, but it just drilled down a few meters. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) proclaimed the Mars Digger dead or defunct.
NASA satellites detected a giant flare was detected in April as it swept past Mars. Experts say it came from a powerful neutron star 11.4 million light-years away.
NASA recently announced its astronauts aboard the International Space Station are currently preparing the new flying robots called Astrobee to improve science on the orbiting laboratory.
