Located below the Red Planet's equator, the Valles Marineris is one of the largest known series of canyons in the solar system. About a meter beneath the valley's surface, astronomers have now detected a large amount of hydrogen, reports Michelle Starr for Science Alert .
While water has been previously known to exist on Mars, most of it is found as ice caps near the poles. Water and ice have never been found at the surface near the equator, however, because temperatures are not cold enough for it to be stable, per a statement .
NASA's Mars helicopter just 'keeps going, going, going!' | TheHill
Ingenuity landed on Mars in February 2021 and, along with NASA's Perseverance rover, covered 754 feet on the ground at 5.6 mph during its most recent flight, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory officials said on Twitter.
The #MarsHelicopter keeps going, going, going! Ingenuity successfully completed its 18th flight, adding 124.3 seconds to its overall time aloft on the Red Planet. It flew 754 feet (230 meters) at a speed of 5.6 mph (2.5 m/sec) & took images along the way.
Sols 3333-3343: Holiday Prepping on Mars – NASA's Mars Exploration Program
On Mars, like Earth, we are prepping for the holidays. Today we planned an eleven sol plan which will take us to the end of December. For this plan, the ENV instruments take the main stage, with lots of REMS activities and a rare day-long DAN passive experiment.
With such a long complex plan, contact science had to be short and sweet today.
Mars ending NASCAR sponsorship after 2022 - The Checkered Flag
One of NASCAR ‘s longest running sponsorships will come to an end at the conclusion of the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season.
Mars is a conglomerate that has sponsored cars and races through multiple brands, most notably its candies like M&M’s and Skittles .

Scottish university scientist chosen to pilot Mars rover | Largs and Millport Weekly News
A scientist from a university in Scotland has been chosen to join the team piloting the European Space Agency's Mars rover when it launches in 2022.
Dr Christian Schroeder, of the University of Stirling, is one of five "guest investigators" from Europe, Russia and Canada, who will lead the European-Russian ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover's mission on the Red planet in September next year.
Smart robots could automatically identify Mars rocks - Sciworthy
Have you ever wondered how a computer automatically identifies a picture of a koala or the Sahara Desert? To do this, humans train the computer to know what a koala or desert looks like. Later, the trained computer can recognize new images of koalas and deserts.
The NASA Mars Curiosity rover does this to drive around rocks and boulders without hitting them. It uses software called AEGIS, which powers the “brains” of the rover’s robotic cameras and tells it whether there’s a rock ahead.
