MARS

NASA is opening the opportunity for the general public to send in their names and include it in a microchip that will be brought to Mars in the year 2020.

NASA has declared the Mars Opportunity Rover's mission complete.

A paper suggested that space agencies may need to dig deeper during their search for life on Mars.

Dormant subsurface microbes found on Earth could be present on Mars as well.

Nasa's Odyssey spacecraft was flying 5,615km away from Phobos and nearly 20,000km away from Deimos when the images were captured.

The photo is a combination of 16 different shots taken by the Curiosity rover's MastCam imager from a vantage point.

The announcement will come two months after Donald Trump signed a new space policy directive instructing Nasa to return to the moon.

Understanding water ice on Mars is key to unlocking the secrets of the Red Planet, according to scientists.

The spectacular event can be viewed with the naked eye and there is no need for a telescope.

Asteroids often collide with other objects as they hurtle through space, leaving their surfaces covered in various markings and craters.

Water-absorbing rocks may be reason Martian surface is so dry, according to radical research by scientists.

Researchers ran a series of simulations to get new insights into the Red Planet's formation and evolution.

The agency captured the image as its Mars Express spacecraft moved from North to South Pole.

Earthworms, often referred to as farmer's friends, are vital to a garden ecosystem if humans ever plan to grow food on Mars.

Big-name brands including Mars and Lidl have pulled advertising from video giant YouTube after they were attached to videos of children attracting lurid comments from paedophiles.

The dark streaks, technically dubbed Recurring Slope Lineae, are mostly found on rocky slopes in dark regions of Mars.

Six researchers spent 8 months living in total isolation inside a small dome to assess the psychological impact of an extended Mars mission.

A competition to design cities and buildings on Mars has been won by a research team from MIT. Their dome design has space for entire forests.

The surface of Mars suggests that it was moved around and formed by flowing water, but there has never been enough water on the planet to do this.

Sand dunes on Hellas Planitia have large, linear scratch marks on its sides at high latitudes.

Volcanoes on Mars are the largest in the Solar System.

It was previously thought that ice and water could not exist around Mars' equatorial region.

Planetary gravity maps developed by Nasa can be used to find the density of any rocky planet.

The tunnels - known as lava tubes - could even help in the search for alien life on Mars.

Nasa has detected a key ingredient for life for the first time on the Red Planet.

InSight is set for launch in May 2018.

Ice dunes and snowfall on Mars are made of dry ice and not water.

Orion is destined to take humans "father into space than we've ever gone", officials said.

Strong winds blow the snow down extremely fast from the atmosphere to the surface.

Found between Mars and Jupiter, it's nearly as old as the solar system.
