The stationary spacecraft captured its last selfie on April 24, showing just how enveloped its solar panels have become by the planet’s relentless dust.
NASA’s Curiosity rover is puttering around on Mars trying to find signs of life, and in the meantime, has provided material for a new video of a 360-degree panoramic tour.
It’s fun to speculate about the weird things that cameras have managed to capture on Mars and send back to Earth, but often there is a perfectly good, scientific explanation for it all.
Watch Ingenuity, the Mars helicopter, make its first successful flight on the Red Planet.
Curiosity has been rolling around on Mars since 2012, and apart from a few bumps along the way, is still sending back incredible images of the Red Planet.
Perseverance and her ground team are going from strength to strength since her successful landing on Mars, with images flooding in from her advanced onboard cameras.
A few keen-eyed Redditors and Twitter users took a look at Perseverance’s parachute and picked up on something that most of us missed.
After years of planning, and months of waiting for her to touch down on Mars, Perseverance is ready to start work on the Red Planet.
The Perseverance Mars rover launched in July last year, and has just about completed its journey, which is set to culminate in a nail-biting “seven minutes of terror”.
The Ingenuity Mars helicopter is looking to make history by becoming the first helicopter ever designed to fly on another planet.
The Perseverance Rover is loaded up on Atlas 5 and ready to lift off from Florida’s Cape Canaveral. Destination: Mars.
There’s nothing better than a tantalising conspiracy theory to make your day that more awesome as you search photographs of Mars for alien life.
Wait, you’re telling me I’m going to be driven home by a car without a driver? Fine, but if they don’t do fast-food drive-throughs we are going to have a problem.
NASA’s Curiosity Rover has been poodling around on the surface of Mars for over nine months now, poking in the dirt and sending back pictures of its shadow and/or penises that it drew in the sand. You can thank a humanoid, then, for recovering some of Curiosity’s dignity with this excellent time lapse
The Mars Curiosity Rover, the world’s most expensive robot has taken to occupying its time by drawing penises on the surface of the red planet.
Over the weekend, NASA’s Curiosity rover successfully drilled into the surface of Mars and collected its first sample from inside a Martian rock. Take a moment to stand right beside Curiosity, and enjoy the Martian landscape. The context, courtesy of Wired: Late on Feb. 8, Curiosity drilled a 6.4-cm-deep hole into a rock nicknamed John Klein on the surface […]
That is correct, our very own Elon Musk is staying true to his word about doing things on Mars. Except he’s changed his tune slightly – he no longer just wants to send one person all the way there.
After months and months of image collection, NASA has released what is the best image of Mars yet. If you can’t get there this week, this is the next best thing. Described by Nasa as the ‘Greeley Panorama’ from the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity, the first image documents the fifth Martian Winter of the mission.
In my opinion this is a far more exciting countdown than the Olympics; in 40 days, NASA’s nuclear powered Curiosity rover will enter the Martian atmosphere, and the landing is the most nerve-racking part for the engineers.
