The mineral-rich region may shed light on how and why Mars' climate shifted from being more like Earth's to its current desert state.

NASA’s curiosity vehicle has reached its next exploration target on Mars. Minerals still existing around the area might provide additional evidence of severe climate changes Mars experienced. The minerals could help researchers learn more about the kinds of life that may have existed on Mars.

After traversing a hazardous terrain, Curiosity finally arrived at a salty region on Mars that formed billions of years ago.

NASAs Curiosity rover is still exploring the Martian surface and looking for signs of life on Mars. We explore the rover in more detail here.

The the transition area between two regions on Mars has yielded photos that show a record of a major shift in the planet’s climate.

Over the past year, NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover captured stunningly clear images of the Red Planet’s diverse landscape.

NASA says the Martian rocks spotted by the Curiosity rover likely formed as groundwater trickled through them long, long ago.

NASA’s rover, Curiosity, has clicked a picture of some bizarre but amazing rock pillars on Mars. These twisted rock formations on the Red Planet were found by the long-running rover on May 15. This rover is also about to complete its first decade of work on the planet on August 6. It has been regularly sending raw images to Earth. The image of the sinewy rocks was taken on Sol (Martian day) 3474 of the mission.
