NASA scientists were baffled after uncovering a rock on Mars that didn’t belong there — with a composition pointing to potentially interstellar origins. “This rock was identified as a target of interest,” the space agency wrote in a recent blog post detailing the potentially intergalactic gravelstone.

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has made another strange discovery. While investigating the Vernodden area of Jezero Crater – the crater where the rover first landed on the Red Planet in February 2021 – it found an unusually shaped rock that is not meant to be Where it may have come from is anyone’s guess,

NASA scientists made an unexpected discovery on Mars—a strange shaped rock given the name “Phippsaksla” that may not have originated on the red planet at all. While surveying bedrock at a site called Vernodden,

Mars is a cold, dry, desert-like planet. But billions of years ago, scientific evidence suggests that it had a thick atmosphere, which kept it warm enough to support flowing water on its surface. So, what happened to the Red Planet, and could it happen to Earth?

The ESCAPADE mission, which launched to space on a Blue Origin rocket on Thursday, breaks the mold of how planetary science missions typically come together.

Envision a time when hundreds of spacecraft are exploring the solar system and beyond. That’s the future that NASA’s ESCAPADE, or Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers, mission will help unleash.

New Glenn is set to lift off from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The launch window opens at 2:57 p.m. and closes at 4:25 p.m. ET. Blue Origin will begin livestreaming the event approximately 20 minutes before liftoff, and you can watch right here.

NASA's twin ESCAPADE spacecraft launched aboard Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket Thursday afternoon from Cape Canaveral, beginning their journey to Mars with arrival expected in 2027.

Not yet proof, but potential proof of biosignature of life on Mars, this is the closest NASA has been to discovering a real trace of life so far on Mars said Nicky Fox, deputy administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate.

Scientists suspect iron meteorites might be able to resist erosion on Mars, which may explain why some appear perched on flat ground rather than embedded in craters. In other cases, a crater may have weathered away long ago, leaving only the rock behind.

Blue Origin, owned by Jeff Bezos, plans to challenge SpaceX with the powerful, partially reusable New Glenn rocket.

NASA's Perseverance rover found a peculiar rock on Mars. Its composition suggests it may have originated from beyond our solar system. The rock, named Phippsaksla, stands out due to its unique shape and high iron and nickel content.
