NASA’s Curiosity rover has spent six months exploring the site to investigate if they are a clue to the presence of water.

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover captured images of hilly terrain on Mars, described by scientists as resembling spiderwebs from orbit, which provide clues about the planet’s watery past.

The rover also discovered bumpy textures called nodules, an obvious sign of past groundwater that has been spotted many times by Curiosity and other Mars missions. Unexpectedly, these nodules were not ...

For about six months, NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has been exploring a region full of geologic formations called boxwork, low ridges standing roughly 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters) tall with sandy ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover has just come face-to-face with a mystery that has haunted scientists from a distance for years. While orbital satellites first spotted strange, web-like patterns on the ...

NASA’s Perseverance rover has just made history by driving across Mars using routes planned by artificial intelligence instead of human operators. A vision-capable AI analyzed the same images and ...

AI is coming for our jobs, and now we can add "Mars Rover Driver" to that list. Last month, the Perseverance rover successfully drove not one, but two trips across the Martian surface planned by AI ...

"The fundamental elements of generative AI are showing a lot of promise in streamlining the pillars of autonomous navigation for off-planet driving." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

The Curiosity rover used LED lights on the end of its robotic arm at night to illuminate a hole it had drilled into a rock, Nevado Sajama, in November 2025. Scientists wanted to know if they could see ...

The length of a night on Mars isn’t too different from here on Earth, lasting just over 12 hours on average. Thanks to its similar axial tilt, it also experiences longer nights in winter and shorter ...

Scientists believe these rocks were formed by ancient rainfall, similar to how they form in tropical climates on Earth. The discovery adds to the evidence that Mars may have once been a habitable ...

Bright white rocks spotted by NASA’s Perseverance rover are rewriting what we thought we knew about ancient Mars. These aluminum-rich clays, called kaolinite, usually form on Earth only after millions ...
