NASA's Curiosity rover has made a groundbreaking discovery on Mars by uncovering pure sulfur crystals within a broken rock. This finding is considered a significant scientific breakthrough, as pure sulfur had never been detected on Mars before.

Research suggests that an ancient shoreline helped to sculpt the drop between Mars' southern and northern hemispheres.

From late January into February, multiple planets such as Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Neptune and Saturn will align across the horizon.

"Rootless cones form when lava flows over wet or icy ground, causing it to boil and explode," said Dundas. "The region around Athabasca Valles is covered by a huge lava flow field, and seeing rootless cones on that lava tells scientists that there was ice underground but very close to the surface when that lava erupted."

The findings are the result of the ongoing studies performed by NASA’s Curiosity rover, which has been scouring the red planet since landing in 2012. The latest breakthrough came as scientists were able to analyse ripples on Mars' surface that signified the presence of ancient lake beds.

New research reveals ancient ripples on Mars, providing compelling evidence of long-lost lakes that once existed 3.7 billion years ago.

The president’s Inaugural Address linked landing on the Red Planet with Manifest Destiny, but left many of the specifics unclear.

The European Space Agency (ESA) wants to develop key technologies for a Mars surface lander by the mid-2030s.

Any vehicle traversing the rocky terrain on Mars needs a sturdy set of wheels. NASA’s Perseverance rover, for example, sports thick aluminum ones covered in cleats to enhance its traction and mobility.

During his inaugural address, President Donald Trump said he wants 'American astronauts' on Mars. Where does a future Mars mission currently stand?

President Trump pledges in inaugural address to pursue policy that 'expands our territory' and to put US astronauts on Mars.
