The planet Mars keeps fascinating both scientists and space fans. The Red Planet has left scientists astounded once again. Some startling revelations have been made by tremors occurring on Mars. A massive marsquake was measured by NASA's InSight lander. According to the study, the Red Planet's crust is "like heavy armour" in some locations.

Zhurong, China's first rover to Mars was declared dead. After months of shying away from answering the status of this rover, China has finally confirmed that it has lost all its contacts with Zhurong. What was Zhurong? Why did it die? How did it meet the same fate as most Chinese products? Molly Gambhir reports.

NASA has its sight on the Red Planet 'Mars'. NASA plans to send astronauts to Mars sometime in the 2030s. The space agency released a draft set of high-level objectives earlier this year. These identify 50 points falling under four categories of exploration, including transportation & habitation. To check the habitation of a four-person crew on Mars, NASA unveiled a new Mars simulation habitat.
