Curiosity Rover Reconnects After Solar Conjunction, Begins Critical Organic Search on Mars
NASA’s Curiosity rover has resumed science operations after solar conjunction, returning to a previous drill site for a rare organic chemistry experiment. Using its final supply of TMAH, Curiosity will analyse Martian rock samples for signs of organic molecules while also monitoring dust and atmospheric conditions inside Gale Crater.

NASA’s Curiosity Rover Sends Stunning Sunrise-and-Sunset Holiday Postcard from Mars
NASA’s Curiosity rover has released a festive holiday postcard from Mars, blending a Martian sunrise and sunset into a single panoramic image. Captured on November 18, 2025, the view combines a blue-tinted morning sky with a golden afternoon hue, showcasing Gale Crater in striking detail. Created by stitching images taken hours apart, the artisti...

NASA’s Curiosity Rover Spots Ancient Coral-Like Rock on Mars
On July 24, 2025, NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover captured an image of a small, coral-shaped rock in Gale Crater using its ChemCam Remote Micro Imager. The light-colored, 1-inch (2.5 cm) formation likely formed billions of years ago when mineral-rich water seeped into tiny fractures in the rock, leaving behind hardened mineral veins after evaporation...
