Meteor Strike May Have Triggered Massive Grand Canyon Landslide 56,000 Years Ago
A meteorite strike in northern Arizona may have triggered a massive Grand Canyon landslide 56,000 years ago. Researchers found ancient driftwood and lake sediments indicating a paleolake formed after the Colorado River was dammed. The study suggests seismic waves from the Meteor Crater impact caused the landslide. Findings were published in the jou...

NASA's Perseverance Grinds Into ‘Weird’ Martian Rock to Uncover Signs of Ancient Habitability
NASA’s Perseverance rover is grinding into a strange Martian rock called Kenmore to study its inner makeup and potential for preserving signs of ancient life. The rock yielded clay and feldspar and, for the first time, manganese hydroxide, all key indicators of water-related processes and possible habitability on early Mars.

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Investigates Strange Martian Rock
NASA’s Perseverance rover has analysed an unusual rock called “Kenmore”, uncovering clay and manganese-rich minerals. Alongside, it broke its own Martian driving record, covering 1,348 feet using autonomous navigation. The findings may guide future missions in sampling and habitat planning, deepening our understanding of Mars’ geological co...

NASA’s Perseverance Explores Mars' Oldest Rocks in Krokodillen Region
NASA’s Perseverance rover has reached Krokodillen, a 73-acre plateau near Jezero Crater's rim believed to host some of Mars’ oldest rocks. Preliminary data shows signs of clays, carbonates, and olivine minerals, suggesting ancient water activity. Currently examining a site named Copper Cove, the rover is using a new sampling strategy that allow...
