As the search for life on Mars continues – with promising potential biosignatures recently identified by NASA at the Bright Angel formation – there are a few scientists out there who think we may have found life on the Red Planet already.

Mars is a cold, dry, desert-like planet. But billions of years ago, scientific evidence suggests that it had a thick atmosphere, which kept it warm enough to support flowing water on its surface. So, what happened to the Red Planet, and could it happen to Earth?

NASA begins its second Mars trial in Houston, where four volunteers will live for a year in a printed habitat called the CHAPEA program.

Explore how ESCAPADE aims to uncover Mars' secrets and ensure safe astronaut missions with new insights into the planet's transformation and solar interactions.

New Glenn is the first orbital rocket developed by Blue Origin, which was founded by Amazon's Jeff Bezos. The two-stage heavy lifter had just one flight under its belt before Thursday — a test mission that lifted off in January 2025, sending a prototype version of Blue Origin's Blue Ring spacecraft platform to orbit.

A pair of NASA spacecraft ultimately destined for Mars will study how its magnetic environment is impacted by the Sun.

Envision a time when hundreds of spacecraft are exploring the solar system and beyond. That's the future that NASA's ESCAPADE, or escape and plasma acceleration and dynamics explorers, mission will help unleash: one where small,
