The Moon, often considered a stepping stone to Mars, is a repository of vast resources crucial for modern technology. However, human presence on the lunar surface has been limited since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.

A mysterious explosion that occurred on the sun's far side has triggered a mass of plasma and radiation, which is soon expected to hit Mars. If this solar storm reaches the red planet, it has the potential to initiate subtle ultraviolet auroras and could even erode a portion of its atmosphere, experts suggest.

Mars is bracing for radiation emitted by a mysterious explosion on the sun

A glob of plasma and radiation that was blasted by an unexplained explosion on the sun's far side is expected to crash with Mars. According to researchers, if the solar storm strikes the Red Planet, it may cause weak UV auroras and even shred a portion of the Martian atmosphere.

Massive explosion from Sun felt on Earth and Mars

An astrobiology professor has claimed that life on Mars was discovered 50 years ago but quickly eradicated. Dirk Schulze-Makuch, a faculty member at the Technical University Berlin, has made the sensational claim, saying we may have got lucky with discovering extraterrestrial life, only to destroy it unintentionally.

If you are called 'out of this world', the initial euphoria of the idea that you are unique may quickly subside after a thought that you just may have been politely told that you don't adapt well to situations normally considered within the possible ranges of human agreeability.

Out of this world: Scientists have found who should NOT go to Mars

Mars is a perfect inspiration for science fiction stories. It's recognisable and well-studied, yet it's also unique and far enough away to entice fantastical experiences.

It's nearly impossible to send manned mission to Mars, NASA scientist explains why

Currently rolling across the Red planet, NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has sent amazing pictures of an intriguing patch on the sun, that is not yet visible from Earth.

Mars is spinning faster. With every passing year, Martian days are becoming shorter by 0.76 milliseconds. This comes a year after scientists said that the Earth too has begun spinning faster. Are the two cosmic developments related? Listen in to Vikram Chandra.

Mars is spinning faster, here's what it could mean

Mars is rotating faster. Every year, the length of a Martian day decreases by 0.76 milliseconds. This comes after scientists stated that the Earth has begun to rotate faster as well. Are the two cosmic occurrences connected? Watch to know more in this interview with NASA Mars Scientist, Dr Amitabh Ghosh.

Scientists have not been able to determine why Mars is spinning fast

Data from NASA's insight lander has made a startling revelation that Mars' rotation is undergoing an acceleration of approximately 4 milliarcseconds per year. By studying the data scientists achieved the most precise measurement of mars' rotation to date and further research is likely to reveal more insights about the red planet.

Gravitas: Mars is spinning faster & faster

The Red Planet isn't in good shape. Days are shrinking. As Mars is spinning faster. But why?

Scientists clueless as Mars is spinning faster & days are 'shrinking'

Scientists have achieved the most precise measurement of Mars' rotation to date, unravelling the planet's enigmatic "wobble" caused by its molten core's dynamic movements.

Mars' timepiece tinkered? NASA discovers faster spin, shorter days on red planet

NASA is working to create a nuclear rocket to transport people to Mars and beyond in the most recent attempt to carry people to the planet Mars.

NASA, Lockheed Martin join hands to send humans to Mars on a rocket

Scientists have claimed that an alien spaceship may have crash-landed on the surface of Mars after they spotted strange pointy protrusions on its surface. NASA's Curiosity Rover in April photographed what looked like rows of spikes, plates and wedges which protruded from rocks lying on the 96-mile (154 km) Gale Crater's floor.

Scientists suggest alien spaceship 'may have crash-landed on Mars’

The Mars Express orbiter has sent a series of seemingly unremarkable pictures to Earth. At first glance, they may look like fuzzy, out-of-focus images, but their significance is massive. Here's why they are important.

These pictures of Earth from Mars show there's no 'Planet B' for us

NASA's Perseverance rover's new findings have suggested that organic molecules, which are considered as a potential indicator of life, are present in great volume and diversity in the rocks at a locale on Mars, where there was the existence of a lake long ago.

Three decades on, scientists have captured a picture, eerily similar to the one captured by the Voyager 1 spacecraft that Carl Sagan described as seeing a "pale blue dot", referring to our home - planet Earth.

A study based on the data collected by China’s Zhurong Mars rover shows evidence that the planet underwent a major shift around 400,000 years ago which also coincides with the end of the last glacial period.

The image of a mysterious doughnut-shaped rock was captured on the surface of the red planet by the Mars rover Perseverance. The Perseverance rover, which was launched in July 2020, has been exploring the 28-mile-wide (45-kilometre-wide) Jezero Crater of the planet and looking for ancient microbial life's signs, as per NASA.
