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...

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS to Make Closest Approach to Earth on December 19
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS will make its closest approach to Earth on Dec. 19, passing safely at a vast distance. Discovered by NASA-funded telescopes, the rare visitor offers scientists a valuable chance to study material formed around another star. Observations from space telescopes are expected to deepen understanding of interstellar objects.

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.

Clocks on Mars Run Faster Than on Earth, New Study Finds
New research shows time on Mars runs faster than on Earth by 477 microseconds per day. The variation poses challenges for astronauts, navigation, and creating interplanetary communication networks. Scientists say understanding Martian time differences is key for future missions and testing Einstein’s relativity.

Scientists Find Clock on Mars Runs 477 Microseconds Faster Than Earth
A new study by NIST physicists shows that clocks on Mars run about 477 microseconds faster per day than identical clocks on Earth. The difference comes from Mars’s weaker gravity, orbital eccentricity, and gravitational influences across the solar system. Though tiny, this daily time lead will pose challenges for future Mars navigation and commun...
