Researchers argue that the presence of long chain carbon molecules on Mars "cannot be readily explained" by non-biological processes alone.

New orbital data reveal that the most recently active volcanic systems on Mars weren’t simple one-off blasts into space.

Organic compounds discovered on the Red Planet cannot be fully explained by non-biological sources, say astrobiologists.

Scientists studying a rock sample collected by NASA’s Curiosity rover have uncovered something tantalizing: the largest organic molecules ever detected on Mars. The compounds — decane, undecane, and ...

As next-generation telescopes map this outer frontier, astronomers are bracing for discoveries that could reveal hidden planets, strange structures, and clues to the solar system’s chaotic youth.

New theoretical models have strengthened the case that immense, energy-harvesting structures orbiting their host stars could exist in principle in distant stellar systems. With the right engineering ...

The Mars Perseverance rover has been investigating the Jezero Crater and came across something that is not native to Mars at all. It is a meteorite that collided with the red planet. Though various ...

Ilana is a Lists Trainer and Editor at Collider since 2021. She has previously written for digital publications covering lifestyle and culture (Glitter Magazine, VinePair, etc.), but her passion lies ...

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover recently came across an odd rock, dubbed "Phippsaksla," that is unlike anything else the robot has found on the Red Planet. It turns out that it probably isn't from our ...

NASA’s latest images from Mars show a rock that looks less like a random boulder and more like something deliberately carved, a sculpted shard standing alone on the dusty plain. The discovery has ...
