From a Mars rover selfie to an astronaut's view of the flower moon, these space images will give you a new perspective on our planet and our universe.
Perseverance cracked open a tricky Mars rock to find water-related minerals, then zoomed across the landscape to make its longest drive yet.
NASA’s Perseverance Rover may have uncovered one of the most extraordinary phenomena on Mars yet—potential evidence of electrified dust devils. This discovery, shared at the 2025 Lunar and Planetary ...
New simulations suggest Mars’s dust devils may carry electric charge strong enough to spark lightning-like discharges—posing potential threats to rover missions on the Red Planet.
Sheel and his team found that when the atmosphere of Mars is laden with dust, the atmosphere becomes less conductive, prohibiting the flow of charges. This could cause a massive charge buildup in a ...
NASA's Viking was the first spacecraft to report dust devils on Mars. Later, Mars rovers like Curiosity and Perseverance captured dust devils zooming across the desolate Martian landscape.
Once the dust is blown away, Perseverance gets to work using a set of advanced sensors. A camera called WATSON takes close-up images from the rover’s robotic arm. Then, from its mast, the SuperCam ...
