8 wrz 2021 · Is Mars habitable? Could ancient life once have existed on the Red Planet? Is there potential for life today deep beneath the Martian crust? Ell Bogat from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center is here to dig into some of the details.
27 cze 2023 · The Mars Curiosity rover made the case for habitability even stronger, capturing evidence of abundant water, organic molecules and habitable environments in Mars’ distant past. The rover continues its work today in Gale Crater, where it is still finding evidence of water activity in the past.
For over 60 years, NASA has been in pursuit of answering science's biggest questions – was, or is, Mars a habitable world? The key to understanding the past, present or future potential for life on Mars can be found in NASA’s four broad, overarching goals for Mars exploration.
9 paź 2024 · Despite the Red Planet's appearance, scientists have wondered for decades about the possibility of microbial life inhabiting Mars in the distant past. Now a new study, based on data collected...
7 paź 2024 · 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.
2 lut 2022 · Scientists want to know the duration of the habitable period; the longer it was, the more time there would have been for any potential Martian life to form. The new work extends the potentially habitable period on Mars by about 500 million years, into the late Hesperian age.
19 lip 2019 · Researchers from Harvard University, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, and the University of Edinburgh suggest that regions of the Martian surface could be made habitable with a material — silica aerogel — that would mimic Earth’s atmospheric greenhouse effect.
