- Evidence is mounting that Mars was once a wet and warm world, similar to the early Earth. What went wrong with the Red Planet -- is it possible that future explorers may find fossils from a more habitable time -- indeed did microbial life survive until the present time?

- Conventional rovers in future Mars missions could be superseded by “swarms” of two-wheeled robots that can operate independently or combine in various constellations.

- Mars may have had liquid water flowing through its surface for about a billion years longer than previously thought, which may increase the chances of its past habitability.

- The Hubble Space Telescope has surveyed the Earth-sized planets within the habitable zone around TRAPPIST-1. At least 3 of the planets do not contain puffy, hydrogen-rich atmospheres similar to Neptune. The results, instead, favor more compact atmospheres like Earth, Venus, and Mars. http://hubblesite.org/news_release/news/2018-07 8 comments science
