A new study indicates that crews with a wider range of personalities perform better under pressure, possibly informing how NASA selects and trains its astronauts for future missions to Mars.
Two decades of spacecraft images reveal more than 1,000 dust devils whipping across Mars at unexpected speeds, offering fresh insight into how wind and dust shape the Red Planet.
NASA's Perseverance rover has found minerals that could have powered life on Mars — or simply shaped the Red Planet's environment in fascinating ways.
NASA has reported possible biosignatures in a Mars rock, but delays and funding woes cloud its sample return mission. Could China's Tianwen-3 step in and deliver samples from the site itself?
Edgar once designed science experiments for astronauts to perform. Now she'll be the astronaut performing them.
New images from the European Space Agency's Trace Gas Orbiter reveal Mars' atmosphere to have delicate layers of dust and ice, offering insights into the planet's evolution.
"The fact that we captured the aurora again demonstrates that our method for predicting aurorae on Mars and capturing them works."
We'll likely need to get Perseverance's samples to Earth to determine if they do indeed harbor evidence of Mars life —but the prospects of such a mission are cloudy at best.
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has found yet more chemical signatures that could be associated with ancient Red Planet life — but we need to examine them here on Earth to fully understand them.
In the not-too-distant future, "artificial astronauts" could fly as actual crew members on human missions to Mars, and elsewhere in space.
