NASA’s Perseverance Rover Poised for Years of Exploration Across Jezero Crater
NASA’s Perseverance rover, in excellent condition, is ready for long-term Mars exploration. Using autonomous driving, it has travelled nearly 25 miles, studied olivine-rich rocks, and collected samples revealing potential signs of past microbial life. The rover now heads to Lac de Charmes for further scientific investigation, promising years of d...

ESA Reveals City-Size ‘Cosmic Butterfly’ Crater on Mars Containing Signs of Ancient Water
ESA has captured a city-sized butterfly-shaped crater on Mars with smooth wings likely formed by melted underground ice. Studying this rare structure helps scientists understand asteroid impacts, Mars’ surface ice, and the planet’s ancient watery past while offering insight into how unusual crater formations develop on the Red Planet.

NASA’s Perseverance May Have Found Its First Meteorite on Mars
NASA’s Perseverance rover may have discovered its first meteorite on Mars, a 31-inch iron-nickel boulder named Phippsaksla found in Jezero Crater. Its pitted, coral-like texture and unusually high metal content resemble meteorites previously identified by Curiosity, Spirit, and Opportunity. Scientists are now analysing the rock’s composition in...

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Finds Metal-Rich Rock on Mars: What You Need to Know
NASA’s Perseverance rover has identified Phippsaksla, a sculpted, metal-rich boulder in Jezero Crater with an unusually high iron-nickel composition. The rock’s chemistry strongly suggests it is a meteorite formed elsewhere in the solar system. Its presence within impact-shaped terrain offers fresh clues about ancient asteroids and helps scient...

Asteroid 2024 YR4: Earth Safe, but New Data Shows Small 2032 Lunar Impact Risk
Asteroid 2024 YR4 has been cleared as an Earth threat, but updated observations show a small chance it could hit the Moon in 2032. Space agencies are monitoring the asteroid closely, expecting new data to narrow uncertainties and determine whether the lunar-impact probability will drop or rise.
