The Jake Matijevic rock that Curiosity explored for several days on Mars, is marked by red dots indicate areas where the rover shot the rock with laser blasts and purple circles indicate areas investigated with X-rays beams. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS
Curiosity Finds Something on Mars!
Curiosity finds something on Mars on its first scooping activity on October 7. The rover team decided to stop the activities due to the detection of a bright object on the ground that might be a piece from the rover. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Pyramid rock on Mars
NASA engineers have driven the Curiosity to examine a unique, like an Egyptian pyramid football sized rock, that would not expect to see on the surface of Mars. Image credit: NASA
This is Earth from Mars
This is the first image ever taken of Earth from the surface of a planet beyond the Moon, taken by the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit one hour before sunrise on the 63rd Martian day, or sol, of its mission. Image credit: NASA/JPL/Cornell/Texas A&M
Mysterious Martian Spheres
This NASA image shows small spherical objects captured by the Microscopic Imager on Mars Rover Opportunity and covers an area only about 2.4 inches across, so the individual spheres are up to about one-eighth of an inch (3 millimetres) in diameter.

How Mars have lost its Atmosphere
Mars is dry, dusty, and there’s practically no atmosphere, so wouldn’t think that it looks like a nice place to live. Now some scientists think that The Red planet may have once looked like a much nicer place to live, with cloudy skies, a thicker atmosphere and possibly even liquid water on the surface.
