Curiosity Mars Rover

After a treacherous journey, NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has reached an area that is thought to have formed billions of years ago when the Red Planet's water disappeared.

Curiosity landed on Mars on Aug. 5, 2012, with one main goal: to determine whether the planet was once habitable. In 10 years, it has answered that question and many others.

A concentrated clump of a rare mineral was discovered in the Gale crater in 2016 by the Curiosity rover. Now, researchers may finally know how it got there.

The strange door-like feature discovered in a martian cliff earlier this month is perfectly natural but provides a "doorway into the past", said NASA.

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover unexpectedly changed its course up Mount Sharp to avoid hazardous "gator-back" terrain.

A new image taken by the Curiosity rover reveals a tiny, flower-like mineral deposit less than half an inch wide on the Martian surface.

The clouds were so faint that NASA employed special imaging techniques to spot them.

NASA's Curiosity rover has left plenty of marks on Mars over the past nine-plus years, and the Red Planet is returning the favor.

NASA's Curiosity rover has found some interesting organic compounds that may be signs of ancient Mars life, but much more work is needed to vet that hypothesis.

NASA plans to pause most of its Martian work in October for safety reasons associated with the Red Planet's position in space.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has rolled into a patch of ground that could shed considerable light on the Red Planet's climate history.

Mars' Gale Crater may not have been so wet after all, a new study suggests.

Since touching down on Aug. 5, 2012, Curiosity has been helping scientists better understand Mars' past habitability and how the planet has changed over time.
