Curiosity’s exploration of Gale crater on Mars has uncovered new evidence about the planet’s climate evolution. By studying isotopic values in carbon-rich minerals, scientists have discovered that ancient Mars likely underwent extreme evaporation,

NASA's Curiosity rover, currently exploring Gale crater on Mars, has uncovered new evidence on how the ancient Martian climate transitioned from potentially habitable to the inhospitable conditions se

According to NASA, the discovery by Curiosity was made using its Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) and Tunable Laser Spectrometer (TLS), with SAM heating samples up to nearly 1,652 degrees Fahrenheit.

NASA's Curiosity rover, currently exploring Gale crater on Mars, is providing new details about how the ancient Martian climate went from potentially suitable for life—with evidence for widespread liquid water on the surface—to a surface that is inhospitable to terrestrial life as we know it.

A photo recently beamed to Earth by NASA’s trusty Curiosity rover shows significant damage to its middle right wheel, but the vehicle is still able to traverse the red planet’s rocky terrain without too much difficulty.

A robot on the hunt for signs of alien life on Mars has taken a huge battering, shock new images released by Nasa show. The Curiosity rover has been busy gathering rocks for more than 12 years to

Data from NASA's Curiosity rover collected on Mars is shedding new light on how the Red Planet became uninhabitable in the distant past due to a changing climate that caused the surface water to evaporate or be locked away as ice.

Images captured by Curiosity's onboard cameras show several large tears in the tire of one of the rover's wheels. However, the damage does not appear to be slowing the roaming robot down.

NASA’s Curiosity rover has uncovered new evidence that sheds light on Mars’ dramatic transition from a potentially habitable world with abundant liquid water to the cold, arid, and inhospitable planet we see today.
