A year and a half after the end of its mission, NASA’s InSight Mars lander may have just helped scientists find enough water to fill an ocean. Deep beneath NASA’s InSight lander (RIP InSight), an ...
Illustration of the planet Mars covered in water in the past, when its atmosphere was thicker and warmer. Now scientists may have found an unground reservoir. Is there water on Mars? Scientists using ...
Back in 1976, the dual NASA Viking landers came to full stop on the Red Planet. Their life detection experimental findings still reverberate within the scientific community – fueling the on-going ...
One of the most sought after substances in the Universe is water – especially in its liquid form – as its presence on a planet makes the presence of life (as we know it) significantly more likely.
NASA launched the InSight lander to study the deep interior of Mars. It focused on the mantle, core, and seismic activity called marsquakes. Although the lander stopped working, it provided scientists ...
This illustration shows NASA's InSight spacecraft with its instruments deployed on the Martian surface. NASA/JPL-Caltech That wasn’t quite the end of the story for InSight, though, as it is still ...
Mars ended NASA’s InSight mission on its own terms, not with a dramatic crash or a catastrophic malfunction, but with a slow, suffocating blanket of dust that starved the lander of power. That quiet ...
IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. These are the Atmospheric Structure ...
NASA's InSight lander continues to contribute valuable knowledge about Mars, even after its retirement. Photos captured in late October by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) show InSight resting ...
On Nov. 26, NASA’s InSight mission knew the spacecraft touched down within an 81-mile-long (130-kilometer-long) landing ellipse on Mars. Now, the team has pinpointed InSight’s exact location using ...
