Space.com’s Julian Dossett writes: For twelve years, we’ve watched Curiosity crawl its way over the rocky surface of Mars, decoding mysteries of the Red Planet and broadcasting back home pictures and data from the strange Martian environment. The Mars … Continue reading NASA’s Curiosity Rover Captures 360-Degree View of Mars
Longtime Slashdot reader MattSparkes writes: NASA is working on plans to send another, much larger helicopter to Mars than Ingenuity. The “Chopper” craft would land itself after “screaming into” the planet’s atmosphere at speed, before covering several… Continue reading NASA Is Developing a Mars Helicopter That Could Land Itself From Orbit
Everybody from NASA to David Bowie has wondered if there’s life on Mars – and now we might have a precise place to look for it. A new Caltech study has shown that photosynthetic microbes could thrive in a small habitable zone beneath the ice.Continue R… Continue reading ‘Habitable zone’ on Mars could be just right for life

Data from NASA’s Curiosity rover collected on Mars is shedding new light on how the Red Planet became uninhabitable in the distant past due to a changing climate that caused the surface water to evaporate or be locked away as ice.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Curiosity rover sheds new light on how Mars became uninhabitable
In an age where our gadgets allow us to explore the cosmos, we stumbled upon sounds from a future past: an article on historical signals from Mars. The piece, written …read more Continue reading The 1924 Martian Signal: A Cosmic Curiosity
Newsweek writes that the missing atmosphere of Mars “may be locked up in the planet’s clay-rich surface, a new study by MIT geologists has suggested.”
According to the researchers, ancient water trickling through Mars’ rocks could have triggered a ser… Continue reading Mars’ Long-Lost Atmosphere Might Be Hiding in Plain Sight
New research suggests that Mars’ missing atmosphere may have been absorbed by minerals in the planet’s clays, in a process similar to geological reactions on Earth. It may explain Mars’ loss of its atmosphere and potential to support life, with methane… Continue reading Ancient Martian Atmosphere May Be Sequestered In Clay
SpaceX plans to launch about five uncrewed Starship missions to Mars in two years, CEO Elon Musk said on Sunday. From a report: Earlier this month, Musk had said that the first Starships to Mars would launch in two years “when the next Earth-Mars trans… Continue reading SpaceX Plans To Send Five Uncrewed Starships To Mars in Two Years
