NASA Uncovers Mysterious CO₂ Eruptions Reshaping Mars’ Surface
NASA researchers have identified geological structures on Mars that are unlike anything found on Earth. From spider-like formations shaped by underground CO₂ eruptions to towering geysers blasting dark dust over the planet’s poles,
NASA rover captures images of mysterious "mother-of-pearl" clouds above Mars
New images captured by NASA's Curiosity rover show colorful clouds in the sky over Mars. The images were captured by the rover's Mastcam, which NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory compared to the rover's eyes. The clouds were spotted on Jan. 17, and the photos were taken over the course of 16 minutes, the space agency said in a news release.
Mysterious colorful clouds drift through Mars’s sky in new Curiosity images
A recent video created from images captured by Curiosity shows clouds tinted red and green flowing though the sky over Mars. Captured using the rover’s Mastcam instrument on January 17, 2025, the video shows the clouds during twilight on the red planet.
