Wait, What? NASA Found Signs of Ancient Alien Life on Mars

NASA released a significant update from the Perseverance Mars rover on Sept. 10, focusing on a particularly juicy tidbit for those watching from home: A small rock sample called Sapphire Canyon showed signs of potential biosignatures, or ancient alien life that may have once grown on Mars. That's possible because of the unique location where Perseverance located the sample in July 2024. It came from a rock named Cheyava Falls. This particular rock is in Jezero Crater, home to an ancient dry riv

Perseverance Rover Finds Potential Sign of Ancient Life in Martian Rock

Today, NASA officials unveiled intriguing new findings from “Sapphire Canyon,” the 25th geological sample collected by the Perseverance Mars rover. This rock core has captivated scientists ever since Perseverance extracted it in July 2024, as it may help them determine if microbial life ever existed on the Red Planet. Now, NASA has revealed that the initial analysis of the Sapphire Canyon sample could not rule out a biological origin for its distinctive features. “This very well could be the cl

NASA to Make Major Announcement About Martian Rock Sample on Wednesday. Here’s How to Watch

In July 2024, NASA’s Perseverance rover extracted a rock core from the edge of Neretva Vallis, a river valley cut into the Martian surface by water rushing into the Jezero Crater billions of years ago. This mysterious rock caught the attention of scientists on Earth, as its features may reveal clues about possible ancient life on the Red Planet. At 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday, September 10, NASA will host a press conference to discuss the analysis of the sample, dubbed “Sapphire Canyon,” and the su

Astronomers Find Hidden Volcano on Mars

Mars’s marred surface consists of craters, canyons, and mysterious formations that hint at a complex geological past. Scientists recently studied a tantalizing feature that could shed light on the planet’s elusive history. A mountain perched on the rim of Mars’ Jezero Crater may actually be a volcano hiding in plain sight, according to a new study. This peak, called Jezero Mons, could offer new insight into the Red Planet’s geologic history and the potential for ancient Martian life, the resear
