NASA Reports The Perseverance Rover May Have Found Evidence Of Past Life On Mars

After exploring the bottom of a Martian crater for three and a half years, NASA's Perseverance is preparing for the steep climb out. NASA announced Wednesday that the car-sized rover would begin a monthslong ascent out of Jezero Crater next week. The journey is expected to be more challenging than any Perseverance has taken on yet.

 There appear to be huge reservoirs under Mars, scientists have said.Evidence suggests that there are vast lakes of liquid water under the surface of the red planet, according to a new study.There could be enough water in the underground reservoirs to create oceans on the surface of Mars, the researchers suggest.Using data from Nasa’s Insight lander, the scientists estimated that the amount of groundwater could cover all of Mars to a depth of between one and two kilometres, or about a mile.But the experts say the reservoir is unlikely to be of much use to anyone trying to tap into it...

NASA’s Curiosity rover made a “mind-blowing” discovery on Mars — yellowish-green crystals of pure sulfur, never before seen on Earth’s mysterious red neighbor, according to scientists.

The literal ground-breaking find was made after the one-ton Curiosity drove over a pile of rocks and cracked one open while probing the deep and winding Gediz Vallis channel, believed to have been formed by water 3 billion years ago.

“I think it’s the strangest find of the whole mission and the most unexpected,” Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity project scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory [JPL] in Pasadena, California, told CNN. “I have to...

The astronauts stranded on the International Space Station are still not able to come home, Nasa has said.Two astronauts went to the space station almost 50 days ago as part of a test of Boeing’s Starliner capsule. But the spacecraft was plagued by problems both before and after the launch – and since then engineers have delayed the return until they can understand what went wrong.That work is still not finished and the space agency cannot give a date for them to come back, it said on an update on Wednesday.Test pilots Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were supposed to visit...

Astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore boarded Boeing's Starliner in June, ready to set off on an eight-day journey that would prove the spacecraft was ready for crewed flights. That eight-day trip may stretch to eight months, according to NASA. The agency's Commercial Crew Program director confirmed in the latest update that NASA is considering using a SpaceX Dragon to bring the crew home, but that would leave them on the International Space Station (ISS) until next year.
