China’s Mars rover finds evidence of liquid water on the Red Planet, may lead to proof of alien life

China's Zhurong Rover has found evidence of liquid water on Mars. Up until now, it was believed that water could only exist on Mars as gas or as a solid. This new discovery will also help in figuring out if there ever was life on Mars.

Is life on Mars evading detection?

Many probes have been sent to the Red Planet to search for microbial life. Now, a research reveals that the instruments being sent to Mars to collect evidence may not sensitive enough to make accurate assessments

Explained: NASA’s first-ever recording of sound of dust devil on Mars

Researchers hope that recording the sound of a dust devil on Mars will help them better understand the weather and climate on the planet, including how its arid surface and thin atmosphere may have once supported life

NASA chalks out plans to bring back Mars rock samples back to Earth in 2023

The Perseverance rover, which landed on Mars in February 2021, has so far collected 11 samples as part of its hunt for signatures of ancient life

NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover found “human trash” on Mars

The Perseverance Rover has found something very unusual on the surface of Mars. Instead of finding past microbial life forms as part of its mission, the Mars Rover has found a piece of “human trash” on its surface.

"Everything is working so well," said Josh Ravich, the head of Ingenuity's mechanical engineering team. "We're doing better on the surface than we had expected."

NASA's Perseverance rover might've succeeded in collecting a piece of Martian rock

NASA plans a mission to bring around 30 samples back to Earth in the 2030s, where scientists will be able to conduct more detailed analysis that might confirm there was microbial life.

Hit and miss: Perseverance rover failed its first rock sample collection on Mars

NASA plans on bringing back around 30 samples that will be analyzed with sophisticated instruments than those on Mars.

Perseverance rover gears up for its first rock collection drive on Mars

The crater was once home to an ancient lake and analyzing these samples will reveal clues about the rocks' chemical and mineral composition.
