NASA's Perseverance rover just became the furthest-traveling vehicle on another planet, covering over 28 miles across Mars in just five years. The achievement shatters a record that took the previous rover 14 years to set.
NASA's Perseverance rover just became the longest-driving vehicle on another world, traveling more than 28 miles across Mars. The milestone marks three decades of NASA's successful rover missions exploring the Red Planet.
NASA's Perseverance rover just became the greatest distance driver on another world, rolling past 28 miles on Mars in half the time it took the previous record holder. The six-wheeled explorer is now investigating some of the oldest rocks in our solar system.
NASA's Perseverance rover is exploring some of the oldest rocks ever found on Mars, offering clues about how rocky planets formed billions of years ago. The ancient region could reveal secrets from when our solar system was still young and chaotic.
NASA's Perseverance rover has discovered extensive organic carbon in ancient river rocks on Mars, the most significant detection of life's building blocks on the Red Planet to date. While the molecules could have biological or non-biological origins, the find strengthens the case for bringing Martian samples back to Earth for deeper study.
NASA's Perseverance rover zapped a Mars rock with a laser and discovered gemstone-linked minerals scientists never expected to find there. The surprise discovery hints at ancient water activity that could rewrite our understanding of the Red Planet's past.
NASA's Perseverance rover discovered corundum, the mineral that forms rubies and sapphires, on Mars for the first time. Scientists think a massive asteroid impact billions of years ago may have created the perfect conditions to form these precious gemstones.
A rock blasted off Mars hundreds of thousands of years ago landed in Oman, got catalogued in London, and now rides on a NASA rover back on its home planet doing real science. It's the first Martian meteorite ever returned to Mars.
When NASA's Perseverance rover landed on Mars, engineers hid a binary code in the parachute's orange and white stripes. The internet cracked it in six hours, revealing an inspiring motto and the coordinates of where the rover was built.
For the first time in human history, a spacecraft has photographed Earth disappearing behind another object from the surface of another planet. NASA's Perseverance rover caught our home world playing cosmic peek-a-boo with Mars' moon Phobos.
NASA's Perseverance rover discovered the richest deposit of complex carbon molecules ever found on Mars, sitting exposed on ancient rocks where water once flowed. The find hints that conditions for life may have once stretched across much of the Red Planet.
NASA's Perseverance rover just completed a full marathon on Mars in record time, crushing the previous record by more than five years. The achievement shows how far space exploration technology has advanced in helping us explore the Red Planet.
