This is NASA InSight's first selfie on Mars. It displays the lander's solar panels and deck. On top of the deck are its science instruments, weather sensor booms and UHF antenna. The selfie was taken on Dec. 6, 2018 (Sol 10). Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech

InSight lander takes its first selfie on Mars

Space
NASA's InSight lander captured its first selfie- a mosaic, that composed of 11 images. The selfie released on Tuesday, shows InSight's solar panels and deck,...
This image from InSight's robotic-arm mounted Instrument Deployment Camera shows the instruments on the spacecraft's deck, with the Martian surface of Elysium Planitia in the background.

InSight lander captures 1st sounds of Martian wind

Space
Almost 10 days ago, NASA's new Mars lander had touched down the Mars' surface. Now the Lander has captured the first ever "sounds" of Martian winds...
NASA's InSight Mars lander acquired this image of the area in front of the lander using its lander-mounted, Instrument Context Camera (ICC). This image was acquired on Nov. 26, 2018, Sol 0 of the InSight mission where the local mean solar time for the image exposures was 13:34:21. Each ICC image has a field of view of 124 x 124 degrees.

NASA’s InSight is one day away from Mars

Space
InSight, short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport, is a Mars lander designed to give the Red Planet its first...
On ancient Mars, water carved channels and transported sediments to form fans and deltas within lake basins. Examination of spectral data acquired from orbit show that some of these sediments have minerals that indicate chemical alteration by water. Here in Jezero Crater delta, sediments contain clays and carbonates. The image combines information from two instruments on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars and the Context Camera.

This acid stream in St Oswald's Bay, Dorset, mimics Mars' environment from billions of years ago

Scientists use Dorset, UK, as model to help find traces of life on Mars

Science
Dorset composed of extreme acidic sulfur streams that thrive in extreme conditions. The similar environment was discovered in St Oswald’s Bay, mimics the conditions on Mars billions...
