NASA's Curiosity rover mission has found evidence a stream once flowed across the area on Mars where the rover is driving. There is earlier evidence for the presence of water on Mars, but this evidence -- images of rocks containing ancient streambed gravels -- is the first of its kind. (04:42)

Mars Rover. Bruno Mars. Mars Bars. It's pretty clear we're OBSESSED with the idea of Mars, especially in regard to it being a potential colony for earthlings. But is that really the best option? Is there a better place for us to colonize in our solar system? Well, how about Venus? Sure the surface temperature is over 450 degrees Celsius, with crazy pressure, but there might be a smart way around that, making Venus a better option for long term colonization than Mars! How? Watch this week's episode of SpaceTime and find out!

Could We Have a Second Home on Mars? Planet Earth has been our home for millennia, but we now understand that the future of the human race cannot be guaranteed if we're all cramped on one planet. As we set our sights on the stars in search of a second home, we consider our celestial neighbor, Mars...would it be a good candidate for Earth 2.0? Hey everyone! I hope you enjoy the video! One little note: In the video I say Mars is our closest neighbor, which is obviously not the case (Venus is closer). What I should have said is that Mars is the our closest neighbor worth working on with our current technology. While Venus is closer, it's very hot, and it's arguably easier to warm a planet up than to cool it down and keep it cool. (07:17)

Discovering life on Mars is now looking more promising. According to geo-biologist Jeff Marlow, anywhere on Earth we see liquid water and enough energy, we see life. The best way to find it on Mars might be to consider what early life on Earth looked like. (01:32)

It sounds like science fiction, but journalist Stephen Petranek considers it fact: within 20 years, humans will live on Mars. In this provocative talk, Petranek makes the case that humans will become a spacefaring species and describes in fascinating detail how we'll make Mars our next home. "Humans will survive no matter what happens on Earth," Petranek says. "We will never be the last of our kind." (17:14)

This video explores the most basic question of all: why we explore space? The Mars rover, Curiosity is the latest in a long line of missions to Mars: landers sent to scoop its soil and study its rocks, orbiters sent to map its valleys and ridges.
They are all asking the same question. Did liquid water once flow on this dry and dusty world? Did it support life in any form? And are there remnants left to find? The science that comes out of these missions may help answer a much larger, more philosophical question. (09:33)

This is a simply a video of Mars rotating. There is no narration, just music. Teachers could use this to discuss the geography of Mars. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in the Solar System. The planet is named after Mars, the Roman god of war. It is also referred to as the "Red Planet" because of its reddish appearance, due to iron oxide prevalent on its surface. Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts and polar ice caps of Earth. Unlike the Earth, Mars is now a geologically inactive planet with no tectonic activity. It is the site of Olympus Mons, the highest known mountain in the Solar System, and of Valles Marineris, the largest canyon. The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere may be a giant impact feature covering 40% of the planet. Mars rotational period and seasonal cycles are likewise similar to those of Earth.
