AI Takes the Wheel as Perseverance Rover Navigates Mars on Its Own
NASA’s Perseverance rover has achieved a major milestone by navigating Martian terrain using artificial intelligence alone. In December 2025, AI-generated routes guided the rover safely across Jezero Crater, proving that autonomous navigation can dramatically speed up exploration and increase scientific returns on future planetary missions.

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 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...

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.

NASA’s Perseverance May Have Found Its First Meteorite on Mars
NASA’s Perseverance rover may have discovered its first meteorite on Mars, a 31-inch iron-nickel boulder named Phippsaksla found in Jezero Crater. Its pitted, coral-like texture and unusually high metal content resemble meteorites previously identified by Curiosity, Spirit, and Opportunity. Scientists are now analysing the rock’s composition in...

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Finds Metal-Rich Rock on Mars: What You Need to Know
NASA’s Perseverance rover has identified Phippsaksla, a sculpted, metal-rich boulder in Jezero Crater with an unusually high iron-nickel composition. The rock’s chemistry strongly suggests it is a meteorite formed elsewhere in the solar system. Its presence within impact-shaped terrain offers fresh clues about ancient asteroids and helps scient...
