NASA's Psyche spacecraft is scheduled to pass within 2,800 miles of Mars on May 15 to gain a gravitational boost toward its target asteroid. The maneuver will increase the probe's speed while allowing tests of its scientific instruments.

A recent analysis of clay pebbles from Mars' Jezero crater suggests the planet experienced a warm and wet climate during the Noachian epoch billions of years ago. This finding challenges the prevailing view of a cold and icy environment at that time. The evidence comes from NASA's Perseverance rover and points to conditions potentially suitable for life.

Researchers at Rice University have developed a climate model showing that small lakes on early Mars could remain liquid for decades beneath thin seasonal ice, despite freezing temperatures. This finding addresses a key puzzle in planetary science about evidence of water on a seemingly cold Red Planet. The study suggests such lakes may have melted and refrozen annually without fully solidifying.
