Among all the planets in the solar system, the one that has fascinated astronomers the most is Mars. Even before any space mission reached the Martian surface, many believed that the red planet could have had alien life on it. Today, the NASA Perseverance rover, the Curiosity rover, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, and the Ingenuity helicopter explore the planet looking for signs of water and ancient life. And the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day also focuses on the red planet and highlights its fascinating…

In its long and remarkable tenure on Mars, the NASA Curiosity rover has reached some significant milestones and discovered some really interesting things. The rover was first deployed on the red planet in 2012 and it continues to collect samples and look for signs of life on the planet. Recently, it discovered a bizarre rock formation that looked just like a duck. And now, it has captured a stunning image of a phenomenon which is extremely rare to see on Mars — visible Sun rays.It should be noted that while sunlight…

For millennia, caves have served as shelters for prehistoric humans. Caves have also intrigued scholars from early Chinese naturalists to Charles Darwin. Do caverns on Mars harbour life?Although that's a valid question, it isn't the appropriate one right now. According to an international group of experts led by Jut Wynne, a researcher at NAU, we need to ask and answer dozens of questions. We can come back to that question after learning how to analyse caves on the Moon, Mars, and other planetary worlds. The lead…
