Popular chocolate bar, Bounty, may be the next victim of the ongoing supply chain crisis in the UK and other European countries. The chocolate giant, Mars, has reported that Bounty, which is one of its highest selling bars, is facing shortages in Russia due to the fall in its supply of raw materials in Europe.

India's Mars Orbiter spacecraft has completed seven years in its orbit, well beyond its designed mission life of six months. "Indeed, a satisfying feeling," K Radhakrishnan who as the then Chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) led the Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan) team told PTI on the milestone.

NASA's Ingenuity helicopter has already defied expectations after its first flight on Mars. After creating history earlier this year of carrying out first motored flight on planet other than Earth, Ingenuity's mission has been extended.

NASA's Ingenuity helicopter is finding it tougher to fly on Mars

National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Ingenuity Mars helicopter has made news for yet another reason. The helicopter has taken a 3D image of a rock structure on the surface of the red planet.

Leave Earth and its protective atmosphere along with its magnetic field and you will get bombarded with all sorts of cosmic raditions. These radiations are deadly and high exposure may even cause death.

There may be a way to protect astronauts from radiation on Martian surface

Scientists have discovered a natural shelter on Mars that can protect it against the radiation on the Red planet. Radiation from space has a nearly unimpeded path to the Martian surface without a protective magnetic shield.

Space is a wonderful mystery! It has glamour that mesmerises our minds. Rockets lifting off, probes examining planets in our solar system, even going beyond the boundary of it is something that enthralls us.

Journey to Mars is full of danger, but here's the safe way

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has said that unusually soft and powdery rock is responsible for last week’s sampling fiasco on Mars. The space agency's Mars rover Perseverance, the most advanced astrobiology lab ever sent to another world, drilled to the proper depth of nearly 3 inches (8 centimetres), and pictures of the borehole looked good.

As per a trio of new studies, the evidence of ‘subsurface lakes’ deep below the ice cap at Mars’ south pole could be due to clay. Citing evidence collected from a radar instrument aboard the European Space Agency Mars Express orbiter, a team of scientists from Italy suggested that the possibility of subsurface lakes below the ice caps at Mars’ south pole.
