A potentially huge discovery by NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover will likely remain in scientific limbo for years to come. On Wednesday (Sept. 10), the Perseverance team announced it found possible biosignatures in pieces of a Mars rock called “Cheyava Falls” that the rover first studied last year. Those intriguing chemical fingerprints include the iron-containing minerals vivianite and greigite, which Perseverance …

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s Mars rover Perseverance has uncovered rocks in a dry river channel that may hold potential signs of ancient microscopic life, scientists reported Wednesday. They stressed that in-depth analysis is needed of the sample gathered there by Perseverance — ideally in labs on Earth — before reaching any conclusions. While acknowledging the latest analysis “certainly …

NASA just announced that its Perseverance rover recently found some on Mars. The rover obtained a sample of rock formed billions of years ago from sediment and there are biomarkers indicating the potential presence of microbes once upon a time. Basically, the rocks contain minerals that typically form as a result of a chemical reaction between mud and organic matter. …

Since February 2021, NASA’s Perseverance rover has been exploring a region on Mars known as Jezero Crater, a huge cavity believed to have once hosted a lake. It’s considered one of the most promising places to look for evidence of ancient life on the Red Planet (life as we know it, at least) — and there has been an update …

NASA has some exciting new results from the Perseverance rover, and they will be presented during a press conference on Wednesday, September 10. The call for a press conference is exciting as it suggests that there is something really juicy to be showcased with a new paper published at the same time. The rest of this article is behind a …

NASA‘s Perseverance rover has snapped an intriguing photo of a “turtle” appearing to poke its head out of its shell on the surface of Mars. The reptile-like structure is the latest in a long list of Martian rocks that look similar to living creatures or other Earth objects. Perseverance captured the new image on Aug. 31, on what was its …

On Wednesday (Sept. 10), NASA officials will share details about a new finding connected to a unique sample the Perseverance rover found on Mars. The teleconference will stream on the agency’s website at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT) and is expected to include some “visuals” during the discussion. You’ll also be able to tune in right here on Space.com, as …

Participants in the teleconference include: Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy Nicky Fox, associate administrator, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters in Washington Lindsay Hays, Senior Scientist for Mars Exploration, Planetary Science Division, NASA Headquarters Katie Stack Morgan, Perseverance Project Scientist, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California Joel Hurowitz, planetary scientist, Stony Brook University, New York Since landing in the Red …

Jaguar Land Rover’s (JLR) UK factories are now expected to remain closed until at least Wednesday after work was disrupted by a cyber attack just over a week ago. The car plants at Halewood and Solihull and its Wolverhampton engine facility, along with production facilities in Slovakia, China and India, have been unable to operate since the company fell victim …
