Perseverance rover

NASA’s Perseverance rover, managed by Jet Propulsion Laboratory, found evidence that repeated asteroid strikes formed a 245-foot-thick rock sequence on Mars’ Jezero Crater over 3.9 billion years ago. The findings, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, were highlighted in a NASA news release.

NASA's Perseverance rover has completed a marathon distance of 26.2 miles on Mars in five years and four months, achieving the milestone on its 1,890th Martian day, surpassing the previous record holder, Opportunity rover, in less than half the time.

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.

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.

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. It achieved this in five years.

NASA's Perseverance rover has completed a marathon distance on Mars. The article questions whether humans could replicate this feat.

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 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 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.
