Curiosity Rover Finds Clues to How Mars Became a Lifeless Wasteland
Mars is generally regarded as a place that can't support life, but new research sheds light on how the Red Planet evolved into the barren, inhospitable world we see today.
Curiosity rover provides new insights into how Mars became uninhabitable
NASA's Curiosity rover, currently exploring Gale crater on Mars, is providing new details about how the ancient Martian climate went from potentially suitable for life—with evidence for widespread liquid water on the surface—to a surface that is inhospitable to terrestrial life as we know it.
Curiosity rover sheds new light on how Mars became uninhabitable
Data from NASA's Curiosity rover collected on Mars is shedding new light on how the Red Planet became uninhabitable in the distant past due to a changing climate that caused the surface water to evaporate or be locked away as ice.
Curiosity Mars rover's wheels are more battered than ever — but they still work
As fun as it would be to visit Mars, we wouldn't necessarily want to walk a mile in the Curiosity rover's shoes — or rather, its wheels. After landing in Mars' Gale Crater in 2012 and traveling some 20 miles (32 kilometers) over the rocky Martian landscape,
