The LIFE mission aims to explore rocky exoplanets in habitable zones to assess the likelihood of life beyond Earth. Even without finding life, it could change our understanding of planetary habitability.
NASA's Perseverance rover has taken a groundbreaking approach to Martian exploration by 'smooshing' a rock to reveal secrets about ancient water and potential life on Mars. This innovative technique is unlocking new insights into the planet's geological history.
Scientists reveal groundbreaking findings on Mars' red color, linking it to a water-containing mineral called ferrihydrite. Explore how this discovery may reshape our understanding of Mars' history and habitability.
New research challenges the previous belief on how Mars turned red, suggesting it might have been a blue ocean world in the past. Find out how the planet's red hue could be linked to its ancient history and potential for life.
New data from the Zhurong rover indicates that Mars may have had a warm, ocean-bearing environment in its distant past, with evidence of ancient beach deposits suggesting the presence of large bodies of liquid water.
Discoveries of ancient beaches and shorelines on Mars reveal a watery past with oceans and rivers, shedding light on the planet's potential habitability and clues for past life.
