NASA's Curiosity rover has spent six months exploring mysterious ridge formations on Mars that look like giant spiderwebs from space. The discovery suggests water existed on the Red Planet far longer than scientists thought, meaning ancient microbial life could have survived there much longer too.
After months of drilling and exploration, NASA's Curiosity rover is wrapping up its fascinating study of mysterious ridge patterns on Mars. The rover's findings could reveal secrets about ancient water on the Red Planet.
NASA's Curiosity rover discovered 12-atom carbon chains preserved in ancient Martian rocks, the largest organic molecules ever found beyond Earth. The finding suggests Mars sustained complex chemistry for billions of years.
NASA's Curiosity rover discovered the largest organic molecules ever found on Mars in rocks that formed 3.7 billion years ago. The finding could point to ancient life or reveal Mars had more complex chemistry than scientists thought.
Scientists discovered organic molecules on Mars that are hard to explain without biology. While not proof of life, the finding opens exciting new questions about our planetary neighbor.
NASA's Curiosity rover just reconnected with Earth after Mars hid behind the Sun, and it's preparing for a once-in-a-lifetime experiment to search for organic molecules. The rover will drill into Mars rock using its last precious drop of special chemicals that could reveal signs of ancient life.
NASA's Curiosity rover just captured something special: a nighttime photo of Mars lit up by its own LED lights. The stunning image shows what the Red Planet looks like after dark, with colors more accurate than typical daytime shots.
For the first time in years, NASA's Curiosity rover turned on LED lights to photograph a Martian drill site at night, revealing hidden rock textures scientists couldn't see in daylight. The experiment worked so well it could change how future Mars missions study the Red Planet.
A NASA rover designed to last two years is still exploring Mars after 14 years, recently capturing a stunning composite image that reveals ancient water patterns. The mission's incredible longevity shows how far human ingenuity can reach.
NASA's Curiosity rover has discovered high concentrations of hematite on Mars, a mineral that only forms in water-rich environments. The find on Vera Rubin Ridge offers the strongest evidence yet that the Red Planet once had conditions favorable for life.
