Mars rover Curiosity has doubtlessly been doing a whole lot of important science up there on the red planet, but it's also been sending back a tonne of pictures to keep us simpler, non-scientist folks amused by all the pretty colors red. But what kind of cameras does that thing have anyways? JPL explains. Read More >>

Opportunity, aka The Little Rover That Could, is still making important discoveries 10 years into its Martian jaunt. After the devastating loss of twin rover Spirit in 2011, Opportunity rallied and kept trekking, only to recently discover a fascinating rock near Endurance Crater. Read More >>

Though Curiosity the rover can explore and see Mars up close, curious men and women of Earth will have to wait a bit longer. NASA reports that a manned trip to Mars is likely impossible with current technology because of radiation. Read More >>

Since it touched down in August, Curiosity has been taking tonnes of pictures. We've already seen some of the best shots, but there's hundreds more where that came from. Fortunately, you can breeze through the whole nine months' collection in just one minute. Read More >>

If you want a Curiosity rover of your own but don't quite have NASA's budget, you can save yourself £2,499,999,850 by going with designer Arnold Patrick Martin's beautiful wooden model. It doesn't move, the cameras don't work, and it probably won't survive a trip to Mars, but it's also only £100. Read More >>

There's been no shortage of Mars pictures since Curiosity landed. We've got Martian mountains, rover selfies, the works. But thanks to a little image stitching by a clever dude back here on Earth, now we have Mars Street View, kind of. Read More >>

The red planet is an alien world, and though it may have once held life, it's certainly no Earth. But that's to a recent, mammoth panorama shot by Curiosity, we can get a glimpse of what it would be life if one of Mars' mountains was transplanted here to ol' Terra. Read More >>

After analysing rock samples collected by the Curiosity Rover, NASA has made an exciting discovery: Conditions on a newly discovered grey (instead of red) part of Mars show it had conditions that were "once were favourable for life." It's an incredible breakthrough. Read More >>

Since Curiosity has landed on Mars, it's been roving around finding all manner of...curiosities. Today, it's pulled off an intergalactic first and drilled 2.5 inches deep into the red planet's bedrock to obtain a sample. No one—no robot, as ever managed to pull that off before. Read More >>

The Mars Curiosity Rover has been busy snapping photos (selfies too) of Mars and found something... strange. A small, shiny, metal-looking "protuberance" sticking out from the red planet. Is it some secret lever to open up a world where Martians exist? Or some random space junk? We don't know. Read More >>

This is, without a doubt, the best photo of NASA's Mars rover Curiosity. Taken on a Martian flat spot called John Klein, the image was just published by scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. It looks she asked someone passing by to take her camera and shoot the picture. Read More >>

Curiosity has found something weird. It's shiny, probably made of metal, and is sticking straight out of a rock like a hand. Has NASA just found signs of intelligent life on Mars? Is it a tool of some kind? Or maybe the metallic foot of a long-dead robot Martian? Read More >>

"Snakes on a Planet?" asks the Mars Curiosity Rover to herself, "no, but this sinuous rock formation I spotted on Mars looks like one." WHATEVER, Mars Curiosity Rover! I've had enough of your lies! Read More >>

During Curiosity's journey to Mars, it was carried by something called a cruise stage: a combination of propulsion systems, fuel tanks, and other equipment required to guide the rover to its destination. On the way down, though, all that stuff made a bit of mess. Read More >>

The internet is awash with news that NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has detected carbon compounds on Mars. Some people may have you believe that the news suggests there's life on Mars — but don't get too excited just yet. Read More >>
