NASA’s Perseverance Rover Spots Turtle-Shaped Rock in Mars’ Jezero Crater
Perseverance rover snaps turtle-shaped rock in Jezero Crater, a geologic oddity shaped by erosion and human pareidolia. The picture was snapped on Sol 1,610, August 31, 2025, at Jezero Crater, by the rover's Sherloc and Watson instruments, fitted to its robotic arm, which capture visible and ultraviolet images of rock surfaces.

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...

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...

Curiosity Rover Finds Evidence of Liquid Water on Mars, Expanding Habitability Timeline
Reports from NASA’s Curiosity rover reveal evidence of ancient liquid water on Mars, challenging previous models. Images from Gale Crater show wave-like ripples, similar to Earth’s lakebeds. Scientists suggest the findings indicate Mars once had a denser atmosphere, which allowed liquid water to exist longer than previously believed. This disco...

NASA's Perseverance Rover Captures View of a Big Mars Cater
NASA's Perseverance rover, currently navigating the western rim of Jezero Crater on Mars, recently captured a breathtaking panoramic view of the landscape. Since landing in 2021, Perseverance has been exploring the 28-mile-wide crater, hoping to find evidence of ancient microbial life. The ascent has presented unique challenges for the rover, but e...
