Exploding Dry Ice May Explain Mars’ Puzzling Dune Patterns, Study Finds
Scientists recreated Martian gullies in a lab and found they were carved by exploding CO₂ ice blocks, not flowing water. The discovery explains how these trenches form naturally and offers new insight into Mars’ ever-changing landscape

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...

NASA's Curiosity Rover Provides Insights into Mars' Uninhabitable Climate
NASA's Curiosity rover is providing new insights into how Mars transformed from a potentially habitable planet, abundant in liquid water, to the inhospitable landscape seen today. Researchers discovered that carbon-rich minerals found in Gale Crater indicate extreme evaporation and suggest the planet's climate could support only transient liquid wa...

How NASA Is Rehearsing For A Mission To Mars
The Martian landscape is otherworldly. The ground is twisted into ropelike coils, rippling waves and jagged spikes; sulfurous gases billow from vents in the ground, bits of volcanic glass glitter in faint sunlight that filters through the undulating fog.
