For apparently the first time ever, the Curiosity rover on Mars has been spotted mid-drive from orbit, a speck of human presence on the otherwise barren and grayscale landscape. The image, taken on February 28, 2025 (Sol 4,466—a leap day here on Earth!), shows Curiosity as a tiny dark blot at the end of a rover track trail that stretches about 1,050 feet (320 meters) across the Martian surface. It’s the orbital equivalent of a candid camera, courtesy of the HiRISE (High-Resolution Imaging Scien

Welcome to the Tuesday Telescope. There is a little too much darkness in this world and not enough light—a little too much pseudoscience and not enough science. We’ll let other publications offer you a daily horoscope. At Ars Technica, we’ll take a different route, finding inspiration from very real images of a universe that is filled with stars and wonder. I'll bet you don't spend a ton of time thinking about Deimos, the smaller of the two Martian moons, which is named after the Ancient Greek

Mars has not always been a seemingly lifeless red desert. We have evidence that billions of years ago it had a warm, habitable climate with liquid water in lakes and flowing rivers, which is somewhat confusing, given that Mars is much farther from the Sun than the Earth and that the Sun was much less bright back then. “In order for Mars to be warm enough to host liquid water, there must have been a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,” says Benjamin Tutolo, a researcher at the University of

Research published late last year indicated “seismic discontinuities in the Martian crust” that scientists believe could be an indicator of liquid water under the Martian surface, raising the possibility of microbial life persisting on the Red Planet. With an ancient past not dissimilar from Earth’s, and its relative proximity to our own world, Mars has been a compelling venue for astrobiology for decades. The team’s work indicates that liquid water—necessary for life as we know it—may persist
