  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...

  NASA’s Perseverance Records First-Ever Mini-Lightning on Mars

  NASA’s Perseverance rover has captured the first confirmed mini-lightning sparks in Mars’ dusty atmosphere. Using its sensitive microphone, the rover recorded 55 tiny electrical discharges during dust storms over two Martian years. These sparks generate reactive chemicals that can break down organic molecules, affecting future life-detection ef...

  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...

  NASA’s Perseverance Rover Finds Potential Signs of Life in Mars Rock Sample

  NASA’s Perseverance rover has uncovered iron-rich minerals in Jezero Crater rocks that on Earth often link to microbial activity. The discovery suggests Mars’ lake basin may have been more hospitable than thought. Still, scientists caution that only Earth-based analysis can confirm whether these are true biosignatures.

  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 Perseverance Rover Spots Megaripples, Proof Mars' Soil Is Still Shifting

  NASA’s Perseverance rover has discovered striking megaripples — giant Martian sand waves — at a site called Kerrlaguna in Jezero Crater. These formations, about a meter tall, are larger than Earth’s beach ripples but smaller than the biggest dunes. Scientists say they formed when Mars had a thicker atmosphere and stronger winds, and many no...
