Mars has long tempted scientists with hints of chemistry that might once have supported life. Now a NASA-led study argues ...

A new Astrobiology study suggests non biological processes may not fully explain organic molecules found by NASA’s Curiosity rover on Mars. Could ancient life be a possible answer?

The Deep Space Network enables communication with all the missions in space, from telescopes like Hubble to rovers and ...

There are no simple solutions on the Martian surface. It is the kind of environment where you would expect molecules to decompose rather than endure—dusty, ...

Organic compounds discovered on the Red Planet cannot be fully explained by non-biological sources, say astrobiologists.

A year ago, NASA announced that its Mars rover Curiosity had discovered long-chain organic compounds. Their quantity suggests ...

Written by Michelle Minitti, MAHLI Deputy Principal Investigator Earth planning date: Friday, Feb. 6, 2026 The results from ...

Scientists studying a rock sample collected by NASA’s Curiosity rover have uncovered something tantalizing: the largest organic molecules ever detected on Mars. The compounds — decane, undecane, and ...

More than a decade after landing in Gale Crater, NASA’s Curiosity rover has uncovered something unexpected in the Martian ...

Scientists combined lab radiation experiments, mathematical modeling and Curiosity data to ‘rewind the clock’ about 80 million years — the length of time the rock would have ...

Hubble keeps returning to the Egg Nebula because it changes in ways astronomers can actually track over years and decades. By comparing images taken at different times, scientists can see dust shift, ...

Scientists say the dream of settling the Red Planet comes with major health risks that we are only beginning to understand.
