Researchers use the sophisticated technology on NASA's Perseverance rover to analyze volcanic rocks in Mars' Jezero Crater. Their findings show that some of the same volcanic processes that led to ...

A rock containing many smaller round stones could indicate that there was once a large amount of liquid water on the Red ...

The key data comes from seven caves at As Sulb, an eroded limestone plateau northeast of Riyadh in central Saudi Arabia, where 22 rock samples were taken in 2019. The samples were mostly from ...

The rover took three separate rock core samples from the area; two are sedimentary, while the other is silica-cemented carbonate. “It’s not just interesting for life,” Horgan explains.

New research, however, suggests that this water isn’t spread equally across the Moon. Analysis from rock samples returned by the Chang’e 6 lunar lander suggest that there is much less water in the ...

and the identification of coal-rock interface is one of the important problems restricting the intelligent mining of coal mine. Coal-rock radar can be used to detect coal-rock interface. Due to the ...

Perseverance drilled a sample from the rock and stored it for a future mission to return to Earth. That mission’s funding is currently in limbo. A few months later, Perseverance found another ...

A mission will deliver rock and soil from Mars to laboratories on Earth in the 2030s. Mars Sample Return (MSR) is led by NASA with participation from the European Space Agency (ESA). The mission ...
