NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover has spotted something unexpected: a piece of the thermal blanket that the rover's team believes may have come off its rocket-powered jet pack when it made its descent to the Red Planet last year.
NASA's Mars helicopter drone Ingenuity has set a new record as it flew farther and faster than ever before and was captured by the aircraft's navigation camera.
The Mars helicopter drone Ingenuity has captured aerial photos of some of the used Perseverance landing gear. NASA says this detailed aerial perspective could provide valuable insights for future missions.
The Mars Perseverance rover has captured detailed footage of Phobos, one of the Red Planet's moons, crossing the face of the Sun. It is the most zoomed-in, highest frame-rate observation of a Phobos solar eclipse taken from the Martian surface.
The Mars Perseverance Rover has been hard at work on the Red Planet since it landed earlier this year. In addition to capturing physical samples, it has also been regularly snapping photos and NASA has shared its most liked images from the last year.
Back in April, the Mars Perseverance rover shared a selfie that included the Ingenuity helicopter drone on the surface of the Red Planet. The space agency has now shared a video and detailed explanation of how that photo was taken, including the fact it is made up of 62 individual images.
NASA's Mars Ingenuity drone survived a close call that could have ended in disaster. During its sixth flight, a glitch in its camera image delivery pipeline caused the drone's onboard navigation system to malfunction.
While Curiosity recently shared the latest of several selfies it has captured over the years, NASA's Mars Perseverance rover was not to be outdone, and in its first-ever selfie, it decided to share the spotlight with the Ingenuity drone.
The Mars Perseverance Rover has been sharing thousands of images since it landed on the surface of the Red Planet on February 18. This past week, the rover sent back a few landscape photos of its position taken by its MastCam-Z, juxtaposed with an aerial view from orbit.
The Mars Perseverance Rover, which already has sent back some incredible images from the Red Planet, is equipped with 23 cameras designed for a host of tasks. Its main camera array is particularly impressive, able to see details as small as a tip of a pencil close by, and the size of an almond from a football field away in 3D.
Last week, NASA's Mars Rover Perseverence landed safely on the Red Planet. After sending back a few initial images, NASA has followed up with a stunning 360-degree interactive photo that lets you get a full view of the area around the rover.
NASA's Perseverance has been on the surface of the Red Planet for about a day now and is already sending back images that are far superior to the original two published yesterday, including one photo of the drone midair captured from its "jetpack."
Yesterday, NASA's latest Mars Rover Perseverance safely touched down on the Red Planet and sent back its first images of the surface. The view is from one of the rover's hazard avoidance cameras and is partially obscured by a dust cover.
Lake Superior features one of the harshest winter climates found in the United States. Despite temperatures as low as -32°F at times, photographer Bugsy Sailor visited the shoreline every day in 2019 to shoot the sunrise for his project Year of the Sunrise.
Growing up as a skateboarder and BMX biker, Peter McKinnon never thought he would one day become a creative. But after he received a camera, he was bitten by the photography bug and got hooked.

Last year, I spent 13 days in the field and waited for 117 hours in sub-zero temperatures in front of a den in order to capture photos of the young families.
Here's another cool example of what's possible when you combine creativity with an insane amount of dedication: animator Jonathan Chong spent hundreds of hours creating this stop motion video for the song "Against The Grain" by the Australian band Hudson. He animated everything by hand, and captured 5125 individual photographs of 920 pencils for the three-minute long finished product.
