NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter just captured its first image of the Curiosity rover driving along the red planet’s surface. The 2,000-pound Mars rover is shown as a dark speck in the ...

The research uncovers the potential reasons behind the temperature of the planet Mars and how it has supported the liquid water on the planet. Explore the findings and the discoveries made by NASA ...

A rock containing many smaller round stones could indicate that there was once a large amount of liquid water on the Red Planet.

The team is therefore working hard to understand where on Mars the rock formed. Theories include it smashing onto the Red Planet's surface as a meteorite, or being carried from elsewhere on Mars.

NASA added. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun, with a 'near-dead' dusty, cold, desert world with a very thin atmosphere. Mars is also a dynamic planet with seasons, polar ice caps ...

In the early solar system when the Sun was only about 75 per cent as bright as it is now, the theories state, Mars had sprawling ice caps. The ice caps, which covered the planet all the way to the ...

Theories on its origin include it smashing into the Red Planet as a meteorite or being carried from elsewhere on the Mars surface. The space agency said: "The rover has encountered a variety of ...

“One thing is certain: studying the climates of other worlds helps to place the fragile environment of our own planet into a much broader context.” Venus and Mars, the planets that flank Earth ...

The dark stone looks different to the usual Red Planet rocks (Picture: Nasa/JPL-Caltech/ASU) Mars may be our nearest neighbour, but there’s a lot up there which we have no idea about.
