Jul 20, 2021 · NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover has begun its search for signs of ancient life on the Red Planet. Flexing its 7-foot (2-meter) mechanical arm, the rover is testing the sensitive detectors it carries, capturing their first science readings.
1 day ago · CNN —. The NASA Perseverance rover may have found a pivotal clue that’s central to its mission on Mars: geological evidence that could suggest life existed on the red planet billions of years ...
1 day ago · Yesterday, NASA announced that a rock spotted on Mars by its Perseverance rover contained some of the best signs yet that ancient microbial life may have once existed on the Red Planet. The rock provides clear evidence for water, organic matter, and chemical reactions that could provide an energy source, Laurie Leshin, director of the Jet ...

3 days ago · NASA’s Perseverance Rover captured this image on July 18 of a rock 3 feet by 2 feet and nicknamed “Cheyava Falls” on Mars. NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS. Kenneth Chang has reported on the ...
3 days ago · Downloads. (m4v) (13.40 MB) NASA’s Perseverance rover has made very compelling observations in a Martian rock that, with further study, could prove that life was present on Mars in the distant past – but how can we determine that from a rock, and what do we need to do to confirm it? Morgan Cable, a scientist on the Perseverance […]
Mar 13, 2024 · The finding, presented this week here at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, offers the rover a second rock type with an excellent chance of preserving signs of past life, beyond the rocks of the mission’s main target: a fossilized river delta that spills into the crater.
Sep 15, 2022 · Exploring an ancient river delta in a crater on Mars, NASA’s Perseverance rover has collected samples of two rocks that are chock-full of carbon-based molecules that could be remnants of...
Sep 16, 2022 · NASA’s Perseverance rover begins key search for life on Mars. Adding to the buzz over the rock samples, Perseverance collected them from an ancient delta in Mars’s Jezero Crater, where a...
3 days ago · NASA’s Perseverance rover discovered “leopard spots” on a reddish rock nicknamed “Cheyava Falls” in Mars’ Jezero Crater in July 2024. Scientists think the spots may indicate that, billions of years ago, the chemical reactions in this rock could have supported microbial life; other explanations are being considered.
