Mars today is a dry, inhospitable desert. But billions of years ago, it could have looked a lot like Earth, with liquid water flowing over its surface. Now, new analysis of data from the Perseverance ...

The first scientific analysis of images taken by NASA’s Perseverance rover has now confirmed that Mars’ Jezero crater — which today is a dry, wind-eroded depression — was once a quiet lake, fed ...

Recent discoveries made at this week’s American Geophysical Union (AGU) Annual Meeting 2023 in San Francisco reveal new details from NASA’s Perseverance rover regarding the samples it has been ...

Data from the first 208 Martian days of Perseverance have provided a wealth of information about the Jezero Crater, where the NASA rover landed in February 2021. The crater was believed to be an ...

NASA’s Perseverance rover has spent the last eight months in the dry, forlorn landscape of Jezero Crater. But analysis of some of the rover’s first images have confirmed that roughly 3.7 billion years ...

NASA said its Mars Perseverance rover has collected rock-core samples in an area long considered by scientists to be a top candidate for finding signs of ancient microbial life. In an update, the team ...

Harry Vanderspeigle (Alan Tudyk), the titular alien in SYFY’s Resident Alien (streaming now on Peacock) hails from the Mizar/Alcor system, roughly 83 light-years from here. That’s pretty close, as far ...

NASA's Perseverance rover has been rolling around the surface of Mars for many months conducting investigations on various rock samples. Scientists believe in the distant past, Mars had an abundance ...

Why it's incredible: The lake is the only place on Earth that's similar to Jezero crater on Mars. Lake Salda is a body of water in Turkey that bears a strong resemblance to Mars' Jezero crater. The ...

On 18 February 2021, NASA’s Perseverance rover is expected to arrive at Jezero impact crater, the site of a former lake on Mars. The High Resolution Stereo Camera on ESA’s Mars Express has provided ...

Normally, it takes some time for NASA's Mars rovers to return scientific data. The instruments need to be calibrated and commissioned, and the rover needs to move off the landing site toward a piece ...

Since the Perseverance rover landed in Jezero crater on Mars in February, the rover and its team of scientists back on Earth have been hard at work exploring the floor of the crater that once held an ...
