A group of Australian scientists have created a “whole of planet” model that suggests large parts of Mars are capable of supporting life – as long as it doesn’t mind living underground.

The astrophysicist Stephen Hawking believes that if humanity is to survive we will have up sticks and colonize space. But is the human body up to the challenge?

On 25 November, N.A.S.A. will launch Curiosity, the largest and most complex robotic vehicle ever meant to explore Mars. Due to its size, nearly that of an S.U.V., engineering solutions had to be found to land the vehicle. Whereas past rovers were light enough to hit the ground covered in airbags, Curiosity will be airlifted to its landing spot by a 'skycrane'. Once on the Martian soil, the vehicle will look for hilly terrain where evidence of past water flows and biological compounds might be found. What's the Big Idea?

Water seeping into rocky formations on Mars could create places where life could thrive.

The relatively low number of lakes with mineral deposits suggests either a chemical difference between mud on Mars and Earth or that Mars' lakes were short lived, giving life precious little time to form.

Australian scientists who modelled conditions on Mars to examine how much of the red planet was habitable said that 'large regions' could sustain life.

Curiosity, the Mars Science Laboratory, will face challenges getting to the cold dusty world and doing science there. MSL is a very different mission from past Red Planet rovers. Here's how they compare.

Two small depressions on Mars found to be rich in minerals formed by water could have been places able to support life relatively recently in the planet's history.
