NASA’s Mars Sample Return Mission May Survive with Lockheed Martin’s Low-Cost Proposal
NASA’s Mars Sample Return Mission is at risk due to skyrocketing costs, but a new cost-efficient proposal from Lockheed Martin could save the mission. By reusing technology from the InSight lander, the plan promises to bring back Mars samples at a fraction of the expected $11 billion.

Is Mars Really Red? A Physicist Explains the Science Behind Its Colour and More
A physicist explains the science behind Mars’s red appearance, linking its hue to iron oxide or rust. While known as the Red Planet, rover images and telescope data show varied colors, from tan to white ice caps. Observations in ultraviolet and infrared light reveal deeper insights into Mars’s atmosphere, surface, and seasonal changes, enrichin...

China and Russia Sign Deal to Build Lunar Nuclear Power Plant by 2036
China and Russia have agreed to build a nuclear-powered lunar station by 2036, aiming to outpace NASA’s delayed Artemis mission. The reactor will power a permanent research base at the Moon’s south pole and be constructed autonomously, according to Roscosmos. The deal marks a major step in their joint plan for long-term lunar and Mars explorati...

Life on Mars? Studies Suggest Bacteria-Like Organisms Could Exist
New findings indicate that Mars' past conditions may have supported microbial life. Research draws parallels with extremophiles—microorganisms that thrive in extreme environments on Earth. Studies on bacteria like Helicobacter pylori suggest that if life exists on Mars, it might resemble resilient microbes found in human stomachs. Scientists cont...

Perseverance Rover Captures Bizarre Mars Rock That Looks Like a Human Head
NASA’s Perseverance rover has made a bizarre discovery on Mars: a rock that strikingly resembles a human head. Captured on 27 September 2024, the image showcases the rock's peculiar shape and orientation, which play tricks on our brains, a phenomenon known as pareidolia. This occurrence leads us to see familiar patterns, like faces, in random obj...
