"This experiment's never been run before on another world," said Amy Williams, an astrobiologist working on the Curiosity mission.

Organic compounds found in a Martian crater contain building blocks of life, according to a new study.

Scientists believe they found fresh proof of an ancient ocean on Mars in the form of a “bathtub ring” it left after it dried up billions of years ago.

In early 2026, a photo circulated online that claimed to authentically show a blue sunset on Mars. The earliest version of the image that Snopes could find came from a Facebook pa

A huge geological structure on Mars resembling a bathtub ring may be evidence of an ocean that once covered a third of the Red Planet.

The largest section of the space rocket that will launch the next moon mission has been shipped to the Kennedy Space Center.

A dark patch in Mars' Utopia Planitia region has grown significantly since it was first photographed in 1976. Scientists have a loose understanding of what it is, but they can't properly explain its gradual growth.

In its journey to a crater named Antofagasta, the Curiosity rover has discovered a strange texture patterning rocks on the planet's surface. To our eyes, the pattern looks like reptilian scaling, as if a dragon once lay in the mud.
