NASA has logged another extraterrestrial first on its latest mission to Mars: converting carbon dioxide from the Martian atmosphere into pure, breathable oxygen
NASA hopes to score a 21st-century Wright Brothers moment on Monday, April 19, as it attempts to send a miniature helicopter buzzing over the surface of Mars.
Astronomers have determined that 'araneiforms' (Latin for 'spider-like') are actually caused by carbon dioxide vapor escaping from cracks in polar ice in the spring.
Mars was once a wet world, with abundant bodies of water on its surface. But this changed dramatically billions of years ago, leaving behind the desolate landscape known today. So what happened to the water? Scientists have a new hypothesis.
When NASA’s Mars rover Perseverance, a robotic astrobiology lab packed inside a space capsule, hits the final stretch of its seven-month journey from Earth this week, it is set to emit a radio alert as it streaks into the thin Martian atmosphere.
