- NASA rover takes a closer look at organic carbon on Mars
NASA's Perseverance rover detected organic carbon in Martian mudstone, which could indicate past life. The carbon was found in two rocks named Cheyava Falls and Walhalla Glades, with findings suggesting Mars may have had widespread habitability billions of years ago.
- A martian rock has lots of carbon on it, and it's not clear why
NASA’s Perseverance rover detected complex macromolecular carbon on the surface of a Martian rock in Jezero Crater’s Neretva Vallis. The discovery, made using the SHERLOC instrument, marks the shallowest detection of organic matter on Mars to date, though its origin remains unclear.
- Signs of ancient life might be hiding in Martian mudstones
Scientists discovered organic carbon in Martian mudstones from an ancient lakebed using data from the Perseverance rover. The findings, published in Science Advances, suggest Mars may have once supported life and indicate widespread habitability billions of years ago.
- NASA's Perseverance rover has traveled the distance of a marathon on Mars
NASA's Perseverance rover has traveled the distance of a marathon on Mars. It achieved this in five years.
- NASA's Perseverance rover just ran a marathon on Mars. Could you do the same?
NASA's Perseverance rover has completed a marathon distance on Mars. The article questions whether humans could replicate this feat.
- NASA declares its Mars Maven spacecraft dead after six months of silence
NASA has declared the Mars Maven spacecraft dead after six months of silence, ending its over-decade mission to study Mars' atmosphere. The spacecraft, which relayed data for rovers like Curiosity and Perseverance, will remain in orbit for 50-100 years before crashing into Mars.
- NASA's Perseverance rover is positively glowing in its new selfie on Mars
NASA's Perseverance rover has taken a new selfie on Mars, showing its metal body in the red-brown landscape. The image showcases the rover's current state and surroundings. The photo is part of NASA's ongoing exploration of the Martian terrain.
- NASA's Curiosity and Perseverance rovers capture sweeping Mars panoramas (video)
NASA's Curiosity and Perseverance rovers captured high-resolution Mars panoramas, with Curiosity's 1.5 billion-pixel image of boxwork formations being one of its largest ever. The 360-degree panorama was taken between November 9 and December 7, 2025.
