The “Chemical Laptop” being designed by NASA to help search for evidence of alien life elsewhere in the Solar System. Photo Credit: NASA One of NASA’s primary objectives, and the one which most excites the general public, is the search for evidence of life elsewhere, whether in our own Solar System or on […] NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover recorded this view of the sun setting at the close of the mission’s 956th Martian day, or sol (April 15, 2015), from the rover’s location in Gale Crater. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS/Texas A&M Univ. See dramatic blue Martian sunset animation and matching daylight view below! After nearly three years of laboring […] View from the Spirit rover looking toward Husband Hill on the right, with the lighter-toned Home Plate rock outcrop below that. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech The Spirit rover may have finished its journey a long time ago, but there is still plenty of data to go through and analyze, and continued study of that […] Stunning new mountain top vista from NASA’s Opportunity rover after reaching summit of Cape Tribulation in January 2015 nearly 11 years after Martian touchdown. Panoramic scene shows vast expanse of Endeavour Crater from highest mountain rover will ever climb. See crater rim expanding out from center and rover solar panels at right and […] NASA’s Opportunity Mars rover scans to the summit of Cape Tribulation less than 100 meters distant in mid-December 2014. Beyond lie caches of clay minerals. The scene shows impact breccias and thin soil cover with cobbles over bedrock. This navcam camera photo mosaic was assembled from images taken on Sol 3871, Dec. 13, […] Simulated view of Gale Crater Lake on Mars. This illustration depicts a lake of water partially filling Mars’ Gale Crater, receiving runoff from snow melting on the crater’s northern rim. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ESA/DLR/FU Berlin/MSSS Recent measurements by NASA’s Curiosity rover indicate that a huge lake once filled much of Gale Crater for millions and […] NASA’s Curiosity rover scans around the Pahrump Hills outcrop at the base of Mount Sharp in this photo mosaic stitched from raw images taken on Sol 795, Nov. 1, 2014. Credit: NASA/JPL/Marco Di Lorenzo/Ken Kremer-kenkremer.com NASA’s Curiosity rover has detected a mineral mapped from orbit during her first drill campaign at the foothills […] NASA’s Opportunity Mars rover peers out toward Ulysses crater, ejecta rocks, and Martian plains beyond from her Endeavour crater rim location on Sept. 18, 2014. Notice dramatic wheel tracks (right) as rover ascends steep crater slopes. This navcam camera photo mosaic was assembled from images taken on Sol 3787, Sept. 18, 2014 and […] Panel urges more drilling less driving for NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover Curiosity accomplished historic first drilling into Martian rock at John Klein outcrop on Feb. 8, 2013, (Sol 182) and discovered a habitable zone, shown in this context mosaic view of the Yellowknife Bay basin taken on Jan. 26 (Sol 169). The robotic […] NASA’s Curiosity rover abandons drill campaign at “Bonanza King” rock outcrop after hammer test (inset at right) determined it was unsuitable as a potential fourth drill site, in this photo mosaic view captured on Aug. 20, 2014, Sol 724. Note the background of sand dune ripples and deep wheel tracks inside Hidden Valley […] |
