NASA released a conceptual video showing how its next Mars helicopter will explore the Red Planet. The design builds on the ...

Researchers studying a Martian meteorite have uncovered the oldest known evidence of water on Mars, dating back 4.45 billion ...

A study reveals ancient hot water activity on Mars, indicated by a 4.45 billion-year-old zircon grain from a Martian meteorite. Designated Northwest Africa (NWA) 7034, and nicknamed “Black Beauty,” ...

or “Black Beauty,” is different from most other meteorites: It’s a chunk of Mars. Despite many orbiters and landers visiting Mars, none has returned a piece of the Red Planet to Earth.

The team analyzed meteorites from a large space rock designated as NWA7034 or “Black Beauty.” While all Martian meteorites have clues about the planet’s geologic history, most of them are ...

The Mars meteorite 'Black Beauty' suggests there used to be hot water on the Red Planet. Scientists have found what seems to be the oldest direct evidence of hot water flowing on Mars during its ...

Crystals inside a Martian meteorite hint that there may have been plentiful hot water on Mars when the rock formed 4.45 billion years ago. The rock, nicknamed Black Beauty, was blasted into space ...

Several bits of Mars have rained down on Earth as meteorites, one of which is the subject of a new study. Researchers from Purdue University have confirmed the so-called Lafayette Meteorite ...

A meteorite from Mars has a history of interacting with water, probably as a result of volcanic activity melting ice on the Red Planet over 700 million years ago. The findings help reveal the ...

The Lafayette Meteorite was chipped off the surface of Mars and then sped through space for roughly 11 million years. It eventually found its way into a drawer at Purdue University in 1931 and has ...

One of these chunks of Mars eventually crashed into the Earth somewhere near Purdue University and is one of the few meteorites that can be traced directly to Mars. This meteorite was rediscovered ...
