Such research benefits humanity and helps lay the groundwork for future human exploration through the agency’s Artemis campaign, which will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future missions ...

This breakdown would have released some carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere, completing part of the carbon cycle. With this in mind, the researchers estimated that similar rocks across Mars ...

Analysis from the Curiosity rover provides powerful evidence that Mars once maintained a robust carbon cycle. This discovery opens new possibilities about whether life could have thrived there ...

It wasn’t long after Ben Tutolo started as a participating scientist on NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover team that he started to understand just how much information was being collected ...

The findings provide in situ evidence that a carbon cycle once operated on ancient Mars and offer new insights into the planet's past climate. The Martian landscape shows clear signs that liquid water ...

The observation that geochemical processes were capturing and sequestering that CO 2 suggests that this imbalanced carbon cycle may have challenged Mars's ability to remain habitable." A diagram of ...

A new study led by a University of Calgary scientist has found evidence that suggests Mars once had a carbon cycle, giving further support for the past habitability of the red planet. Using data ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover has found evidence of a carbon cycle on ancient Mars, bringing scientists closer to an answer on whether the planet was ever capable of supporting life. Planetary researchers ...

The Curiosity rover's discovery changes all of that. Landing on Mars' Gale Crater in 2012, the rover has traversed 21 miles (34 kilometers) of the 96-mile-wide (154 km) meteor impact crater ...
