Perseverance rover got one of its drills stuck in a rock on Mars, and NASA only got to know about it months later. There were chances that the rover would lose the drill, but the space agency said that it had successfully retrieved it. 

NASA just saved a precious drill stuck on Mars since 8 months from 212 million kilometres away

NASA's Perseverance rover spotted a strange-looking rock on Mars that didn't belong there. It ran some scans, and the data revealed that it didn't come from the Red Planet but some other far-off point in space. Is it a meteorite?

The study indicated that if microbial life once existed on Mars, its chemical traces might still be hidden beneath the planet’s icy surface. Pure ice, researchers found, can preserve organic material for 10 million years, potentially long enough for future human missions to uncover it.

Life on Mars? Study finds traces of life may still lie beneath the planet's frozen surface

AI is changing how we plan to build cities on Mars. From robot builders to smart design using martian soil, AI will make space living safer and faster. But can it handle mars’ tough conditions? Here’s how the future of space building may look like.

How could AI help humans build the first city on Mars?

A comet from another star system will swing by Mars on Friday as a fleet of spacecraft trains its sights on the interstellar visitor.

NASA say nuclear-powered rockets may cut travel time to Mars by half. making deep space missions safer and faster. NASA and DARPA plan tests by 2027, with crewed missions possible in the 2030s. Here's how nuclear propulsion may reshape interplanetary travel.

Will nuclear-powered rockets take us to Mars faster?

Living on Mars long-term need food, water, etc. Farming on Mars, growing oxygen, and building safe habitats will be vital. Scientists plan greenhouses, tech, and safe habitats. Energy and health challenges are big, but with robotics, humans could build a permanent home on Mars.

Can space technology help astronauts survive on mars?

Has NASA just uncovered the most compelling evidence of life beyond Earth? A Martian rock sample — nicknamed Sapphire Canyon — may hold the clearest biosignatures ever found on Mars. From mineral patterns to organic compounds, scientists say this 3.5-billion-year-old rock might be our best shot yet at answering humanity’s oldest question: Are we alone in the universe? Here's what we know so far — and what comes next.

Mars has a solid core, a stunning discovery that changes everything that has been thought about the formation of the red planet. A team of scientists studied Marsquakes to reveal that a 600km solid core sits inside the red planet.

600km solid core inside Mars stuns scientists - Only the third after Earth and Moon

The interiors of Mars have chunks and blobs of ancient rocks that could have developed to form planets. The discovery was made when scientists were scanning through the data of NASA's InSight lander. How did they manage to remain the same for over 4.5 billion years?

Ceres is the dwarf planet that orbits between Mars and Jupiter and is icy cold today. But 500 million to two billion years after it was born, conditions were ripe for life forms to thrive on Ceres. No sunlight was involved in the process.

Move aside Mars, Ceres was once hot and alive, and hosted life in our solar system

Can Niger get the meteorite from Mars back? The biggest Martian meteorite ever seen on Earth was sold for $5 million by Sothebys. It was found in the Sahara Desert in 2023, and Niger is pretty livid and asking how it left the country. Can it get it back?

A Martian scandal: Niger wants the $5million Mars rock, biggest  ever seen on Earth, back. What do the laws say?

As humanity sets its sights on Mars, a new kind of robotic explorer is being built to lead the way. Meet Olympus, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) four-legged robot designed to thrive in the Red Planet’s harshest environments, from rocky plains to deep lava tubes.
