New Study Reveals Mars Faced Heavy Rains: Possible Clue to Ancient Life
The revelation that Mars once had Earth-like rainfall reshapes our understanding of planetary evolution. The insights support the theory that early Mars was far more hospitable than previously believed, possibly housing primitive life forms. The findings could guide future missions like NASA’s Perseverance in locating signs of fossilised organism...

NASA’s Mars Sample Return Mission May Survive with Lockheed Martin’s Low-Cost Proposal
NASA’s Mars Sample Return Mission is at risk due to skyrocketing costs, but a new cost-efficient proposal from Lockheed Martin could save the mission. By reusing technology from the InSight lander, the plan promises to bring back Mars samples at a fraction of the expected $11 billion.

Mars Dust Devils May Spark Lightning, Might Pose Risks to Rovers: Study
A new computer-modeling study reveals that dust devils on Mars—swirling columns of dust and air—may become electrically charged enough to spark lightning-like discharges. Led by researcher Varun Sheel, the study simulates how dry Martian conditions and frictional collisions between dust grains can generate strong electric fields inside these vo...

NASA's Perseverance Grinds Into ‘Weird’ Martian Rock to Uncover Signs of Ancient Habitability
NASA’s Perseverance rover is grinding into a strange Martian rock called Kenmore to study its inner makeup and potential for preserving signs of ancient life. The rock yielded clay and feldspar and, for the first time, manganese hydroxide, all key indicators of water-related processes and possible habitability on early Mars.

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Investigates Strange Martian Rock
NASA’s Perseverance rover has analysed an unusual rock called “Kenmore”, uncovering clay and manganese-rich minerals. Alongside, it broke its own Martian driving record, covering 1,348 feet using autonomous navigation. The findings may guide future missions in sampling and habitat planning, deepening our understanding of Mars’ geological co...

SpaceX to Launch Over 150 Memorial DNA Capsules into Orbit on Celestis’ Perseverance Flight
SpaceX’s Transporter-14 mission on June 23 will carry over 150 capsules of DNA and cremated remains into orbit for Celestis. The flight, in partnership with The Exploration Company, will briefly orbit Earth before reentry. It marks Celestis’ 25th space memorial mission and offers a symbolic journey for participants, including the youngest Europ...

Perseverance Rover Studies Ancient Martian Rocks at Fallbreen and Forlandet Quadrangle
NASA's Perseverance rover reached new ground on June 7, 2025, exploring ancient Martian terrain at Fallbreen and moving into the Forlandet quadrangle near Jezero Crater. This region may contain Mars' oldest rocks, offering key insights into the planet’s early geology. The mission also honors Earth's own exploration history by naming Martian sites...

NASA’s Perseverance Explores Mars' Oldest Rocks in Krokodillen Region
NASA’s Perseverance rover has reached Krokodillen, a 73-acre plateau near Jezero Crater's rim believed to host some of Mars’ oldest rocks. Preliminary data shows signs of clays, carbonates, and olivine minerals, suggesting ancient water activity. Currently examining a site named Copper Cove, the rover is using a new sampling strategy that allow...

NASA’s Perseverance Captures Deimos Before Dawn in Striking Martian Sky Image
NASA’s Perseverance rover captured a rare pre-dawn image of Mars’ moon Deimos on Sol 1433, stitching together 16 long-exposure shots into a 52-second composition. Despite image noise and cosmic interference, the photo reveals Deimos, stars like Regulus and Algieba, and Martian sky conditions, highlighting the rover’s expanding role in celesti...

Water on Ancient Mars? New Study Challenges the Cold Planet Theory
Scientists have uncovered compelling evidence suggesting that early Mars was surprisingly wet, featuring extensive networks of lakes and river basins shaped by rainfall and snowfall. This challenges long-held views of a predominantly cold and icy ancient Mars. Despite current climate models struggling to explain sustained liquid water on the Red Pl...
