A mudstone sample from Jezero Crater shows textures and minerals that on Earth often form through microbial activity. Scientists caution that nonbiological processes could also explain the features, ...

NASA has found potential signs of life on Mars, the agency said last Wednesday. Although additional scientific study is needed in order to verify the theory, NASA has said the discovery could be the ...

The rover’s science instruments found that the formation’s sedimentary rocks are composed of clay and silt, which, on Earth, are excellent preservers of past microbial life. The findings were made ...

NASA’s interim administrator, Sean Duffy, was fired up on Wednesday when he joined a teleconference to talk about new scientific findings that concerned the potential for life to have once existed on ...

NASA announced it found promising potential biosignatures on Mars. Potential biosignatures are things like chemicals and structures that could be a result of life on the planet, but more research was ...

A long time ago, life left microscopic signatures on Mars — or did it? That's the question NASA scientists have worked for years to answer. On Wednesday, NASA researchers said the answer might be in a ...

For a very long time humanity has dreamed of traveling to other planets. Because of its proximity and similarity to our own corner of the Universe, these 'other planets' often take the shape of Mars ...

A rock sample collected by NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover may contain evidence of ancient microbial life, preserved for billions of years on the Red Planet. The potential “biosignature” is not direct ...
