Water In Mars

Mars may have seen dry and wet season cycles and thus, may have been habitable at some point in its past, according to scientists. Analysis of mud crack patterns on the early Martian surface, observed by NASA's Curiosity Rover, suggest an irregular or episodic presence of water, meaning water could have been present for a time and then evaporated.

The Curiosity rover is currently exploring the Gale crater at the equator of the Sun-blasted planet.

American Space Agency NASA's Perseverance rover has discovered stunning Martian rocks in the Jezero crater on the Red Planet that may have life-related traces.

An engineer, from the US space agency NASA, has developed a tiny yet high-powered laser that can help locate water sources on our Lunar neighbour. This laser can be used to develop an instrument called a heterodyne spectrometer, which would be capable of zooming in on particular frequencies and confirming the presence of water on the surface of the...

Scientists, in a latest study, have found a region on the Red Planet that might have been “repeatedly habitable” until relatively late in Martian History. They have discovered the clay-bearing sediments within the Margaritifer Terra region of Mars. The region has some of the most extensively preserved landforms that were created by running wate...

Scientists have managed to find signs of microbial life in one of the harshest spots on Earth, giving further hope that life may also be found in some of the unknown environments of space. In the depths of the Canadian Arctic, scientists managed to identify signs of life in the low-oxygen, super-salty waters of the Lost Hammer Spring.

According to an analysis of data sent back by the rover, Zhurong, signs of water were detected in sampled minerals from just 700 million years ago. It suggests that water was present on Mars' surface for longer than previously thought,

Are there rainbows on Mars? NASA decided to answer this questions in the latest episode of its ‘Ask The Expert' series. Shared on Instagram, the video features the US space agency's planetary scientist and Mars expert Mark Lemmon.

Mars' huge canyon system, Valles Marineris, may hold hidden water beneath the surface, according to a new study. The European Space Agency (ESA) and Roscosmos' collbaorative ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) discovered large volumes of water in the canyon's heart.

Heinz has produced a ketchup that is becoming popular for more than just its flavour. A team of 14 astrobiologists worked for months to achieve a similar feat — but on Earth. They worked at the Aldrin Space Institute at the Florida Institute of Technology to grow these tomatoes in a controlled environment with soil, temperature, and water conditi...

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has now collected two rock samples, with signs that they were in contact with water for a long period of time, boosting the case for ancient life on the Red Planet.

From carrying parts of the first rocket on a bicycle to finding water on the Moon, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has come a long way since its inception and has been pioneering space missions with untiring zeal.

Today's protest came 10 days after the unprecedented vi...

Flash floods of “unimaginable magnitude” once washed through Gale Crater on Mars' equator around four billion years ago, according to a study which hints at the possibility that life may have existed on the Red Planet.
