NASA’s Curiosity Rover Sends Stunning New Panorama From High on Mount Sharp on Mars
NASA’s Curiosity rover has shared a new panorama from high on Mount Sharp, created from images taken across two Martian days. The colour-tinted view highlights changing light conditions and ancient boxwork formations shaped by groundwater, offering fresh insight into Mars’ past and the rover’s ongoing exploration inside Gale Crater.

Curiosity Rover Finds Evidence of Liquid Water on Mars, Expanding Habitability Timeline
Reports from NASA’s Curiosity rover reveal evidence of ancient liquid water on Mars, challenging previous models. Images from Gale Crater show wave-like ripples, similar to Earth’s lakebeds. Scientists suggest the findings indicate Mars once had a denser atmosphere, which allowed liquid water to exist longer than previously believed. This disco...

Life On Mars: Study Shows Ancient Lake On Mars Harboured Diverse Microbial Life
A long-lasting lake on ancient Mars may have provided suitable environmental conditions for different types of microbes to exist simultaneously more than three billion years ago, scientists have found using data from NASA's Curiosity rover mission.

Curiosity Measures Seasonal Patterns In Mars Atmosphere
The local atmosphere in Mars is clear in winter, dustier in spring and summer, and windy in autumn, show measurements by NASA's Curiosity rover that has completed recording environmental patterns through two full cycles of Martian seasons.

Curiosity Finds Rocks Similar to Earth's Crust on Mars
Rocks rich in silica similar to those in the oldest part of Earth's continental crust are scattered throughout the area where NASA's Curiosity probe is exploring on Mars, according to a study published on Monday in Nature Geoscience.

NASA Mars Rover Finds Key Evidence for Lake at Landing Site
Billions of years ago, a lake once filled the 96-mile (154-km) wide crater being explored by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity, bolstering evidence that the planet most like Earth in the solar system was suitable for microbial life, scientists said on Monday.

Life in Mars? Ancient Earth-Like Soils Provides Clue
Deepening suspicion that there is or was life in Mars, a study based on images and data captured by the NASA rover Curiosity says that Mars had Earth-like soils comparable with soils in Antarctic Dry Valleys and Chile's Atacama desert some 3.7 billion years ago.
