NASA’s Perseverance Rover Discovers a Large Number of Unique Rock Samples on Jezero Crater’s Rim
NASA's Perseverance rover is exploring the Martian rim of Jezero Crater, a crater filled with rocky outcrops. The mission has cored five rocks, performed up-close analysis of seven rocks, and analysed another 83 from afar using a laser. The diversity of rocks found has exceeded expectations, with tons of fragmented once-molten rocks and formerly un...

NASA's Perseverance Rover Captures One Dust Devil Devouring Another
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover's navigation camera captured a Martian dust devil swallowing a smaller one. The smaller dust devil's demise was captured during an imaging experiment carried out by Perseverance's science team to better understand the dynamics at work in the Martian atmosphere. In the 1970s, NASA's Viking orbiters became the first spa...

Mount Spurr Volcano in Alaska Shows Signs of Possible Eruption
Mount Spurr, a stratovolcano west of Anchorage, has shown rising seismic activity, gas emissions, and melting snow, suggesting magma movement beneath the surface. Scientists at the Alaska Volcano Observatory believe an eruption is becoming more likely, with historical eruptions in 1953 and 1992 at Crater Peak having sent ash plumes over Anchorage. ...

SpaceX Falcon 9 Launches Athena Lander, NASA's Lunar Trailblazer to Moon
On February 26, 2025, SpaceX Falcon 9 launched Athena and NASA's Lunar Trailblazer from Kennedy Space Center. Athena, developed by Intuitive Machines, will land near Mons Mouton to investigate lunar ice using the PRIME-1 drill. Lunar Trailblazer will orbit the Moon, mapping water ice deposits. The mission includes two secondary vehicles: MAPP, a ro...

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...

Increased Seismic Activity at Mount Spurr Raises Eruption Concerns
Seismic activity at Mount Spurr, Alaska, has intensified over the past ten months, with recent earthquakes shifting towards Crater Peak, a vent that erupted in 1992 and 1953. Scientists estimate a 50 percent chance of an eruption at Crater Peak, though the main crater remains stable. If an eruption occurs, ashfall and air travel disruptions could b...

Athena Lunar Mission Set to Deploy 'Gracie' Hopper for Crater Exploration Near Moon's South Pole
Intuitive Machines, in collaboration with NASA, is preparing to launch the Athena lunar mission, featuring the 'Gracie' hopper designed for crater exploration near the Moon's south pole. Scheduled to launch from Florida's Space Coast within a four-day window starting on February 26, Athena will carry multiple payloads, including 'Gracie,' a small r...

NASA Perseverance Rover Discovers Ancient Rock Sample on Mars' Jezero Crater
NASA’s Perseverance rover has collected a unique rock sample from Mars' Jezero Crater. The rock, named “Silver Mountain,” is believed to be one of the oldest in the solar system, possibly dating back to the Noachian period, over 4 billion years ago. This discovery provides new insights into Mars’ geological history and past environmental co...

Upheaval Dome: Utah’s Mysterious Crater That Still Puzzles Scientists
Upheaval Dome in Utah, a rock formation with ridged, concentric circles, continues to spark debate among scientists. Some believe it formed due to a meteorite impact 60 million years ago, citing the presence of shocked quartz crystals. Others argue that underground salt deposits pushed upward, creating the structure. While the impact hypothesis has...
