NASA’s Perseverance rover has shattered a historic space exploration record, traveling farther across another world than any vehicle before it. Its advanced self-driving system helped it surpass Opportunity’s 28.
Scientists at Columbia University and Imperial College London have found that the largest canyon system in the solar system is still active and shaping Mars today, billions of years after it first formed.
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has set a new record for the longest distance traveled on the surface of another planet, the space agency said.
A new study tracking 13 astronauts suggests that the human heart may be surprisingly well equipped for a journey to Mars, especially with regular exercise during spaceflight. Researchers found that astronauts' hearts adapted to months of weightlessness and handled simulated Martian gravity without major problems,
The yardangs sit on the northwest side of a three-mile-tall mountain called Mount Sharp, and both features sit in Mars’ Gale Crater, according to the outlet. Curiosity landed on Mars in 2012 and has been climbing Mount Sharp since 2014. On August 26, it reached 0.6 miles of elevation, which is a record for Martian rovers.

Olympus Mons: The Mars volcano about 2.5 times taller than Mount Everest
Stand on Mars and look toward Olympus Mons, and you probably wouldn't realize you were looking at a mountain. It's so broad and its slopes so gentle that the summit would sit beyond the horizon for anyone near its base.
NASA researchers are developing the future of flight on Mars, laying the groundwork for helicopters with the ability to fly higher and farther while conducting science on the Red Planet. Using high-fidelity computer simulations and wind tunnel tests,
