When we imagine the search for life on Mars, we often picture high-tech rovers scanning dusty landscapes or orbiters ...

Recent discoveries on Mars have sparked excitement in the scientific community as NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) ...

In his new book, 'The Great Architects of Mars,' Haas analyzed dozens ... Even so, Haas is sure that the structures in the ...

Airbus will provide the landing platform for Rosalind Franklin, which is scheduled to launch toward Mars in 2028.

Researchers say they are one step closer to finding out if life ever existed on Mars. An international team has found “compelling evidence” of multiple mineral-forming events just below the pl ...

Two NASA rovers on Mars recently made two independent discoveries further indicating that ancient life may have once existed on the Red Planet. The U.S. space agency's Perseverance and Curiosity ...

And scientists said the discovery is of 'high interest' in the search for potential signs of life. The samples were collected by the 'Sample Analysis at Mars' (SAM) – one of the instruments on ...

A team of scientists just discovered the longest organic molecules yet seen on Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun and and a tantalizing venue for humankind’s search for life beyond Earth.

But they ended up discovering something else entirely: the largest organic compounds ever documented on Mars. The compounds date to 3.7 billion years ago—around the same time that life first ...

Humanity’s search for life on Mars has taken a significant step forward with the discovery of organic molecules that resemble key building blocks of life on Earth. Since landing in 2012, NASA’s ...

Molecules like this are made on Earth both through living and non-living processes, so the discovery is not proof Mars once hosted life, let alone that it’s still present. However, the find does ...

While the presence of these molecules is not proof of ancient life on Mars, scientists say it shows we could detect chemical signatures of past life, if it ever existed. Scientists have announced ...
