Curiosity Rover Reconnects After Solar Conjunction, Begins Critical Organic Search on Mars
NASA’s Curiosity rover has resumed science operations after solar conjunction, returning to a previous drill site for a rare organic chemistry experiment. Using its final supply of TMAH, Curiosity will analyse Martian rock samples for signs of organic molecules while also monitoring dust and atmospheric conditions inside Gale Crater.

Biggest Space Discoveries in 2025: From New Comets and Black Holes to Sign of Life on Mars
The year 2025 proved extraordinary for astronomy, delivering discoveries that stretched from our cosmic backyard to distant galaxies. Scientists tracked Comet 3I/ATLAS, only the third known interstellar object, while nearby stars like Barnard’s Star and Alpha Centauri revealed new planetary companions. On Mars, strange “leopard spots” raised ...

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 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...
