NASA's Perseverance rover has discovered a haunting rock formation on Mars that looks unsettlingly like a skull. Dubbed "Skull Hill," the jet-black outcrop is so bizarre and out of place that even ...

The latest evidence that Mars was once a warmer, wetter world comes from a surprising place—the hidden subsurface depths of Jezero Crater—rather than its surface, which NASA’s Perseverance rover has ...

In December, NASA took another small, incremental step towards autonomous surface rovers. In a demonstration, the Perseverance team used AI to generate the rover’s waypoints. Perseverance used the AI ...

NASA has released details of a test it conducted in December in which it used generative AI to plan a route for the Perseverance rover. The test run seems to have gone rather well, prompting NASA to ...

"The fundamental elements of generative AI are showing a lot of promise in streamlining the pillars of autonomous navigation for off-planet driving." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

HOUSTON—NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has twice successfully demonstrated drives on the red planet planned by artificial intelligence (AI), an update from the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) ...

Since 2021, NASA's Perseverance rover has achieved a number of historic milestones, including sending back the first audio recordings from Mars. Now, nearly five years after landing on the Red Planet, ...

After nearly five years on Mars, NASA’s Perseverance rover has traveled almost 25 miles (40 kilometers), and the mission team has been busy testing the rover’s durability and gathering new science ...

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has demonstrated that the six-wheeled “Percy” Perseverance Mars rover has the durability to operate until at least 2031 and trek on for at least another 37 mi.

Scientists now have proof that Mars' dusty storms can generate mini lightning, putting to rest decades of speculation. The discovery came from a microphone aboard NASA's Perseverance rover, a lab on ...

The Perseverance rover picked up audio evidence of electric discharges in the red planet’s atmosphere. By Kenneth Chang It is shocking but not surprising. Lightning crackles on Mars, scientists ...
