NASA’s Opportunity Rover survived years on Mars, but a massive dust storm may have finally ended its mission. With solar panels covered in dust and communication lost, scientists wait to see if the ...

At the surface, Mars is a desolate, barren world with a rocky landscape, massive dust storms and extreme temperature swings.

Mars' southern hemisphere absorbs a lot of the sun's energy during the Red Planet's spring, and that may be causing Mars' dust storms, a new study suggests.

NASA's Perseverance rover has been busy gathering bits of Mars — rock cores the size of chalk sticks, clusters of broken fragments no bigger than pencil erasers, and even grains of dust fine enough to ...
