A storm of tiny dust particles on Mars has prompted NASA's Opportunity rover to suspend science operations. The Martian dust storm has grown in size and is now officially a 'planet-encircling' (or 'global') dust event.
The finding has significant implications for whether life once existed on Mars.
Boron, changing minerals offer evidence of a habitable lake and complex chemistry.
The Curiosity Rover discovered manganese oxides on the red planet. The seemingly simple find actually has mind-boggling implications: ancient Mars could have been a lot more like Earth than we thought.
Curiosity is busy poking and prodding the Bagnold Dunes, learning some new tricks in the first-ever interplanetary fieldwork on a sand dune. And of course it looks absolutely stunning while doing it in this latest sand dune selfie.
