NASA's Perseverance rover, which has been exploring Mars since 2021, fired its laser at some oddly pale rocks on the surface of the Red Planet—and found evidence that Mars may have once been warm, wet and possibly even suitable for life.

Scientists have discovered kaolinite mineral on Mars, providing new evidence that the planet was once warm and wet.

NASA considers SANS one of its ‘red risks’ for a Mars mission, owing to its potential severity and the number of astronauts that could be exposed. Other high-priority risks include radiation exposure,

Scientists have identified another possible commonality between Earth and Mars: a solid inner core. New research from the University of Bayreuth and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) conducted here on Earth found that an iron and sulphur mixture mirroring the Red Planet’s inner core crystallized under high heat and pressure.

With its vivid turquoise, green and blue waters, it’s no surprise Lake Salda is often promoted as the “Maldives of Turkey.” According to scientists, it’s also the only place on Earth that’s analogous to the Jezero Crater on Mars.

Searching for small fossils in big rocks requires specialized tools --tools that scientists could also use to look for evidence of life on Mars in rocks that may be similar on both planets.

Retired U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer Joe McMoneagle claims he was a "psychic spy" for the CIA and has seen proof of life on the planet Mars. He says he

The race to Mars has intensified, with two major players leading the charge—NASA and SpaceX. NASA, a government-backed agency with decades of space exploration experience, is taking a calculated and methodical approach.

"It's like a game of billiards around the solar system, flying by a couple of planets at just the right angle and timing to build up the energy we need to get to Jupiter and Europa."

Electromagnetic Systems has successfully tested nuclear fuel that could power future rapid space missions, including trips to Mars. Collaborating with NASA, these tests proved the durability of the fuel under extreme space conditions,

Microorganisms first appeared on Earth in ancient bodies of water around 3.7 billion years ago. But while Mars might have hosted substantial bodies of water around the same time, it’s tough for scientists to determine whether these otherworldly pools also harbored microbial life.

Within the next decade, space agencies plan to bring samples of rock from Mars to Earth for study. Of concern is the possibility these samples contain life, which could have unforeseen consequences. Therefore,
