5 Amazing New Discoveries About Mars
Scientists have had proof since 2013 that water once flowed on Mars, when NASA's Curiosity rover found smooth, rounded pebbles—like those seen in Earth's rivers—on the Martian surface.
Elon Musk's Mars Roadster comments reveal a big SpaceX problem
On Saturday, the SpaceX CEO took to Twitter to declare that his electric car was "currently orbiting Mars." The only problem, as Smithsonian astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell pointed out , is that it's actually orbiting the Sun.
It may seem like nitpicking to some, but McDowell tells Inverse that it's a significant distinction.
Mars satellite captures wild image of an ancient Martian crater
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has zipped around the red desert planet for a decade and a half, beaming back a plethora of detailed images of Mars' volcanoes, valleys, dried-up lakes, and beyond.
The over half-mile-wide crater, created by a long-ago impact from an asteroid or comet, is filled with exquisite, if not psychedelic, patterns.

NASA's 3D-Printed Mars Habitat Could Work on Earth With Cheap Plastic
Despite humans not having reached Mars yet, AI SpaceFactory has not stopped working on its habitat and it has become quite technologically ingenious and useful for applications right here on Earth.
"In Space architecture, every design decision is of great consequence to the success of a mission. Structures must be resilient and interior layouts must be tuned to mission demands," states the website for Marsha.
