The dust buildup on the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory's InSight Mars lander is severe enough to see from orbit. You can see the red Martian regolith covering the lander, which touched down in ...

Dust from these rings might be able to get to Mars’s upper atmosphere. Pabari’s team found that while the most of the dust cloud is interplanetary, about 0.6 per cent of it could be coming ...

Dust devil on Mars photobombs NASA ... when it is farthest in its orbit from ... in height and 98 feet (30 meters) in diameter. That spacecraft's High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment ...

Recently, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) caught a glimpse of InSight from orbit, capturing the lander’s dusty ...

Dust devils were first spotted by NASA’s Viking mission in the 1970s, which photographed the cheeky phenomenon from Mars’ orbit. Two decades later, the Pathfinder mission captured the first ...

India's Mars orbiter is also searching for signs of methane from its place in orbit. NASA is planning to send a rover to Mars in 2020 , but it isn't specifically designed to look for life on the ...

The second mission will carry a Mars Orbit Dust Experiment (MODEX), a Radio Occultation (RO) experiment, an Energetic Ion Spectrometer (EIS) and a Langmuir Probe and Electric Field Experiment ...

NASA's Maven reaches Mars after year-long journey 00:33. Ten months and 442 million miles outbound from Earth, NASA's MAVEN spacecraft fired its braking rockets Sunday to slip into orbit around ...

You can see NASA’s Perseverance rover as spotted from the Martian skies in this image, captured by the High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance ...

The falling dust particles, just like meteors in Earth's atmosphere, burn up as they go down, so the shower would have created a brilliant light show for anyone standing on Mars at the time.

A science experiment aboard NASA's Curiosity rover has found tantalizing traces of possible past life on Mars. But there could be other explanations for where these compounds came from.
