NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has set a new record for the longest distance traveled on the surface of another planet, the space agency said.

The yardangs sit on the northwest side of a three-mile-tall mountain called Mount Sharp, and both features sit in Mars’ Gale Crater, according to the outlet. Curiosity landed on Mars in 2012 and has been climbing Mount Sharp since 2014. On August 26, it reached 0.6 miles of elevation, which is a record for Martian rovers.

THE country is set to launch a spacecraft on the world's first mission to bring back samples from Phobos, one of the two small, potato-shaped moons orbiting Mars.

NASA's Perseverance rover has driven farther than any vehicle on the surface of another world, and much faster.

NASA just released a striking new image of the Martian landscape taken during the quiet, early morning hours of dawn. The image reveals the captivating shapes of wind-carved cliffs as they are gently illuminated by the Sun’s first light.

BEIJING -- China's Mars rover Zhurong has provided key observational evidence of liquid water at low Martian latitudes, the warmest regions on the red planet, according to a new study published in the journal Science Advances this week.

Earth and Mars grew up as neighbors around the young Sun, but they may not have been built the same way. Most of Earth’s mass appears to have come from two growing planetary bodies that formed primarily by collecting small pebbles.

Is the camera tricking us, then? Mostly not. Lemmon traces the blue to the ground itself. Rocks scoured clean of dust and patches of wind-driven sand look gray to blue-gray, and against the surrounding reds, oranges, and yellows, they tend to look especially blue, he said.

A Ph.D. student at the University of Sydney has produced the first comprehensive classification system and map of Martian soils, creating a new framework that could help scientists compare landscapes across the Red Planet and identify promising locations for future exploration,
