Scientists have found new evidence indicating there could be liquid water on Mars, which is a major breakthrough in the search for life there. The University of Cambridge-led study provided the first independent evidence that uses data aside from radar that there is liquid water beneath the south polar ice cap of the Red Planet. “This study gives the best indication yet that there is liquid water... 

On May 7, NASA’s Martian lander Curiosity took a picture of a formation in a mountain on Mars called Mount Sharp, which looks like a door down to the underworld. The opening looks like a landscaped descent to an underground tunnel system but is in fact a formation that occurs naturally according to experts. – This type of crevice is common on both the earth and March. There is nothing... 

One of the most successful and enduring feats of interplanetary exploration, NASA’s Opportunity rover mission is at an end after almost 15 years exploring the surface of Mars and helping lay the groundwork for NASA’s return to the Red Planet. The Opportunity rover stopped communicating with Earth when a severe Mars-wide dust storm blanketed its location in June 2018. After more than a thousand... 

The layers of ice discovered on Mars could serve as a life-saving source of water for human explorers of the Red Planet, NASA scientists believe. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has discovered ice sheets 300-feet-thick running just below the Martian surface. Eight such geological formations with thick ice hiding very close to the surface have already been found on the Red Planet, and are seen by scientists... 

The United Arab Emirates has announced plans to build a ‘Martian City’ on Earth in preparation for humanity’s planned colonization of the Red Planet. The 1.9 million square foot (176,5151 square meters) Mars Science city project was launched by the UAE earlier this week and is estimated to cost AED 500 million ($136 million). Once completed, the Mars Science city will be the largest simulated... 

The race to Mars is heating up. Elon Musk recently announced his plans to colonize the Red Planet, but he’s not the only one. Lockheed Martin and NASA have their own plans for a manned Mars mission and are hoping to send people there within a decade. Not to be outdone by Musk, Lockheed unveiled its own plans to send humans to the Red Planet at the same International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide,... 

The International Potato Center (CIP) in Peru has announced that they have successfully grown potatoes in a hermetically-sealed orbital environment that simulates conditions on Mars, indicating that it is possible to repeat the events of the 2015 film The Martian, by growing crops in red-planet soil. The interior of the Peruvian CubeSat satellite was designed to mimic Martian conditions as closely... 

NASA has released an image of Earth and Moon as seen from an artificial device rotating around Mars. The picture was made available on the agency’s website. Australia and the surrounding oceans are particularly visible in the image. The Moon as compared with the originally obtained images has been artificially made brighter. The scale of distances between the celestial bodies and their relative... 

The most recent series of Martian photographs taken by the NASA rover Curiosity has revealed purple rocks on the surface of the red planet. NASA officials have called this a suggestion to a greater degree of diversity in the geological composition of the region, and a hint as to what caused Mars to lose most of its water. The photos were taken near the base of 18,000-foot Mount Sharp, one of Mars’s... 

Scientists studying the Red Planet have for the first time detected nitrogen, a component crucial to the existence of life, extracted from nitrate molecules as a result of heating surface sediments, adding evidence that Mars could once have sustained life. Carbon-based life is not possible without nitrogen. The element is required for the shaping of molecules such as DNA and RNA, both of which carry... 

One of the world’s top visionaries, Elon Musk, sees World War III as a possible potential threat to his plans of colonizing the red planet. In a recent lengthy interview, the man behind Paypal, Tesla and SpaceX has confessed that he feels another World War is more real than it may seem. “You know, in 1912 they were proclaiming a new age of peace and prosperity, saying that it was a golden age,... 

US President Barack Obama may become the biggest obstacle to NASA’s Mars colonization plans in the next 15 years, Texan congressman, chairman of the House Science Committee Lamar Smith, told the Daily Caller website, Pravda.Ru reports. “Every year, the Obama administration proposes funding cuts to the programs that will eventually take American astronauts to Mars – the Space Launch... 

A YouTube UFO hunter who calls himself Mr. Enigma, claims to have spotted a rock formation on Mars that allegedly “looks eerily similar” to one of the world’s most famous and mysterious landmarks, the ancient English monument, Stonehenge. “Now, I know the formation isn’t an exact match [for Stonehenge]” Mr. Enigma notes in the video. “Nor am I saying this is indeed a Stonehenge... 

This view from NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity shows part of “Marathon Valley,” a destination on the western rim of Endeavour Crater, as seen from an overlook north of the valley. Elon Musk dropped some hot comments on the Stephen Colbert show, suggesting nuking Mars and calling it a ‘fixer-upper’ planet, proving his celebrity status by kicking off the show’s second... 

If you thought Star Destroyers were only found in Star Wars flicks, you may be wrong. A photo taken by NASA’s Mars Curiosity Rover shows an object that, to some UFO lovers, looks like the same warships seen on the big screen. “I found this anomaly in the latest Curiosity Rover photo. The black object looks like a crashed UFO,” wrote UFO Sightings contributor Scott C. Waring. He added...
