KARACHI: The model of a spaceship supposed to explore planet Mars was the centre of attention on the second day of the two-day Space Fair at PAF Museum, Karachi, on Sunday. The fair was part of the World Space Week being observed internationally to The freshly launched In Situ Resource Utilization Challenge puts the call out for clever ideas to use resources already found on Mars to help carve out a human presence on its surface. Each piece of material gleaned from the Red Planet and put to use in Mercury will be visible in the pre-dawn eastern sky for the next few weeks, joining Venus, Mars, and Jupiter for an early morning planetary lineup. The innermost planet is often hard to spot because its closeness to the Sun results in it appearing low in A new image from NASA‘s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows a resistant and highly fractured surface among sand dunes on the red planet. The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter often Rounded pebbles discovered by the Curiosity rover were carried some 30 kilometres from their source by a flowing river on the red planet, a new study concludes. The research, reported in the journal Nature Communications, provides some of the most While new discoveries about Mars continue to make headlines, another “red planet”—known as Sedna (or 90377 Sedna)—is making its way into the inner solar system. At this moment, the crimson-hued dwarf planet is making its closest approach to the Sun .

The presence of rounded pebbles on Mars was evidence of a prior history of water on the planet. In a new study, researchers have used the pebbles' shape to extrapolate how far they must have traveled down an ancient riverbed. The analysis suggests they We're closer than ever to exploring Mars. After The Mars Curiosity Rover discovered water on the Red Plant, NASA has been ramping up its efforts to send the first human to the planet. Now, the agency has released a new report that outlines the next steps The dream of sending humans to Mars presents a number of scientific challenges, not the least of which is: what do you eat on a planet where nothing grows? That’s why, for almost eight years, researchers based out of the University of Arizona have been These dark, narrow, 100 meter-long streaks (called recurring slope lineae) are flowing downhill on Mars, and are inferred to have been formed by contemporary flowing water. This week's announcement that salty liquid water flows on Mars has reinvigorated .
