MARS

More than two weeks after the Curiosity rover successfully landed on Mars, NASA on Wednesday finally released a full-resolution video of Curiosity's descent to the red planet. You can view the video here, or at the bottom of this page.

NASA's Curiosity rover geared up for its first test drive August 22 over billion-year-old Mars rocks. This apart, the device's broken wind sensor was identified while scientists assured that it would not jeopardize Curiosity's mission of determining whether life could exist there.

NASA has announced a new Mars mission that will measure the red planet's subterranean geology by looking deep into its interior. The new mission, named InSight, is set to launch on March 27, 2016 and will examine the deep interior of Mars to see why the Red Planet evolved so differently from Earth as one of our solar system's rocky planets.

When Curiosity hit the rock with its laser, atoms on Coronation were transformed into plasma, allowing the rover's ChemCam to use a specialized device called a spectrometer to determine the chemical makeup of the rock.

Life has become other-worldly for NASA flight director David Oh?s family, after switching their biological clocks to ?Mars time.? The change is protocol for a cadre of scientists who spend the first three months of every Martian mission living longer days, but it?s unusual for an entire family to jump along.

Britney Spears has been on top of the world with her music career, as well as out of this world! The singer and "X Factor" judge took to Twitter to exchange some pretty hilarious tweets with NASA's rover Curiosity.

Two of ancient India’s most important and grandest Sanskrit epics, The Mahabharata and The Ramayana, vividly describe giant, magnificent space vessels which took fantastic voyages to distant stars and planets.

The world has been spellbound by the striking images of the never-before seen region of the Red Planet sent by NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover. But here's something that would stun you even more by allowing you to experience a virtual tour of Mars.

Last week’s successful landing of the Mars Science Laboratory, better-known as Curiosity, represented a triumph in aeronautical and electrical engineering. Now the nine-foot, six-wheeled rover will use its instruments to make “Mars-shaking” discoveries in geology, meteorology and chemistry.

In its first moments on Mars, NASA's Curiosity rover captured several low-resolution images of the red planet's surface. But there was a discrepancy between two of the photos, as they appeared to show a mysterious object that later seemed to vanish. Now, scientists believe they have discovered the reason.

NASA's Curiosity rover will be digging around on Mars over the next two years looking for signs of ancient life. But the Red Planet isn't the only place in our solar system that scientists think could harbor life.

Four days after NASA's Curiosity rover successfully landed on Mars, the one-ton robot sent another postcard back to Earth on Thursday, this one a 360-degree doozy.

NASA's Curiosity rover made the perfect landing on Mars earlier this week and is now capturing pictures of the never-before seen region of the Red Planet. With the rover looking forward to spend its first weekend on Mars' surface, it's preparing for a "brain transplant," meaning transitioning to software better suited for tasks ahead, such as driving and using its strong robotic arm.

With NASA's Curiosity rover having been on the surface of Mars for a few days now, it's beginning to send back some high-quality photos, unlike the low-resolution thumbnails the rover took immediately after landing. Many of the best new photos are in color.

The Martian crater where Curiosity rover landed Sunday looks strikingly similar to the Mojave Desert in California, said scientists on Aug. 8.

Three days into its mission, the Mars Science Laboratory, known as Curiosity, is continuing to dazzle scientists and specialists with its first data reports from the red plant. Still more technology companies have acknowledged their participation in the NASA project

New photos are streaming back to Earth from NASA's latest Mars rover, Curiosity.

After its Curiosity rover successfully landed on Mars yesterday, NASA posted a video on Tuesday that offers viewers another chance to "relive the nail-biting terror and joy as NASA's Curiosity rover successfully lands on Mars the evening of Aug. 5." NASA's video of the Curiosity landing on Mars' Gale Crater is embedded at the bottom of this page.

Reports of NASA's Activity Lead Bobak Ferdowsi became one of the most trending topics across a host of social media sites including Twitter, Meme and Facebook Sunday, as millions watched Curiosity's successful landing at 10:31 pm PDT (early morning EDT) August 5 on Mars after the dangerous "seven minutes of terror."

Scanning the first images of an ancient crater that may hold clues about whether life existed on Mars, NASA scientists hailed the Mars Rover Curiosity's landing on the Red Planet as a "miracle of engineering."

With Curiosity now safely on the surface of Mars after its spectacular entry into the Martian atmosphere, NASA unveiled a low-resolution, color video from the rover, which showed what someone, riding the spacecraft, could have seen during the last couple of minutes of the historic landing.
