Is there water on Mars? Is there life on Mars? These and several other questions have intrigued space scientists and common people on Earth for a very long time. Meanwhile, scientific advancements related to Mars missions have divulged stunning information, decoding the Red Planet.  The latest findings by NASA's Perseverance Mars rover revealed that the site where the explorer has been driving on since landing in February likely formed from red-hot magma. 

Lava once flowed at the site of an ancient lake on Mars.

In the history of humankind, exploratory missions to alien worlds are not something new. In pretty much all instances, these missions were about getting to a destination and transmitting back data about the place. As of last year, that changed.

Researchers have pinpointed the likely origin of a group of meteorites ejected from Mars, using a machine learning algorithm that analyses high-resolution planetary images.

Participants used a tool to highlight obstacles such as sand and rock that NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory rover drivers must avoid when planning routes on Mars.

Six. This is the number of rovers presently deployed by humanity on the surface of the Red Planet, five of them wearing the American flag, and the sixth, the Chinese one. They are accompanied by around 20 landers of different shapes and sizes, and a small number of orbital hardware. And Mars is about to get even more crowded.

NASA's Perseverance rover has been on the surface of Mars for just about eight months now, and in that time, it has taken samples of Martian rock to determine

Lunar samples brought back to Earth by the Chang’e 5 spacecraft seem to be less than 2 billion years old, meaning the moon had volcanic activity more recently than researchers expected
