AI Reveals Mars’s Mysterious Slope Streaks Likely Formed by Dust, Not Water Activity
An AI-based study has found that Mars’s mysterious dark slope streaks are likely formed by dust and wind, not flowing water as long believed. Based on an analysis of over 86,000 satellite images, the findings challenge past theories and may help scientists focus future Mars missions on more promising areas in the search for ancient life.

New Study Uses AI to Reveal Dry Origins of Mars’ Mysterious Slope Streaks
A new study by researchers at Brown University and the University of Bern used machine learning to analyze 86,000 high-resolution images of Mars. Their findings suggest that recurring slope lineae (RSLs)—dark streaks once thought to indicate liquid water—are actually caused by dry processes like wind and dust movement. With over 500,000 feature...

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...

Wolf-Rayet 104's Orbit Tilt Reduces Gamma-Ray Burst Threat, Study Finds
New research using Keck Observatory’s instruments confirms that the orbit of Wolf-Rayet 104 is tilted 30-40 degrees away from Earth, lowering concerns about a possible gamma-ray burst. Previously, it was believed that the system’s alignment could pose a risk. However, spectroscopy data now challenges these assumptions, raising new questions abo...

Webb Telescope Tracks Formation and Expansion of Carbon-Rich Dust Shells in Star System
As per the latest report by NASA, the system consists of two stars in an elongated orbit. When these stars come closest, their stellar winds collide, compressing material and forming carbon-rich dust. As reported in an official press release by NASA, Emma Lieb, a doctoral student at the University of Denver and the study's lead author, noted that t...

NASA’s InSight Mars Lander Captured with Dust Layers by Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
NASA’s retired InSight Mars lander has been spotted by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) in a recent image taken on October 23, 2024. The image, captured using the HiRISE camera, shows dust accumulation on InSight’s solar panels, now matching the reddish-brown Martian surface. This observation provides insights into wind patterns and dust m...
