The European Space Agency's director general, Josef Aschbacher, says the member states are moving ahead with a lander design contract to bring a life-seeking rover to Mars.

A shift in Mars' climate 400,000 years ago produced a change in wind direction that left its mark in the erosion of bright sand dunes.

Fall Out Boy has released an update to Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire," ticking off moments in history from 1989 to 2023. Like the original, the cover includes mention of space exploration.

Earlier this month, the MOXIE oxygen-making experiment on the Perseverance Mars rover achieved a major milestone.

A striking new postcard from NASA's Curiosity rover shows the Marker Band Valley region of Mars in the morning and the afternoon.

A book-shaped rock on Mars was likely carved by ancient water running through the area, scientists on NASA's Curiosity rover mission say.

NASA's Perseverance rover has found evidence that a deep and fast-moving river once coursed through Mars' Jezero Crater, shaking up current ideas of past Red Planet water flow.

NASA's Curiosity rover has spent more than 10 years exploring the Red Planet. Now the mission has new software allowing the rover to explore Mars more efficiently.

Data from China's Zhurong Mars rover reveals evidence of water activity on tiny dunes, suggesting parts of the Red Planet were shaped by salty water as recently as 400,000 years ago.
