NASA has lost contact with MAVEN — a spacecraft that’s been orbiting Mars for over a decade. Just after passing behind the Red Planet on December 6, MAVEN went dark. It had been sending back groundbreaking data on Mars’ atmosphere, dust storms, magnetic fields, and even observed a mysterious interstellar comet just days before the silence. Now, NASA is scrambling for answers — while the internet buzzes with alien theories. Could this be the end of one of NASA’s most critical Mars missions?

00:00MAVEN has gone silent, and NASA has no idea why.

00:03After 10 years orbiting Mars, a key spacecraft just vanished.

00:07MAVEN, short for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution,

00:11last made contact with Earth on December 6.

00:14It had just slipped behind Mars as part of its normal orbit.

00:17But when it came back around? Silence.

00:20Everything looked normal before the blackout.

00:23No warning signs. No system failures.

00:26MAVEN wasn't just any orbiter.

00:28It helped reveal how Mars lost its ancient atmosphere.

00:31It captured rare ultraviolet images of dust storms.

00:35It even mapped invisible magnetic fields on the red planet.

00:38And just weeks before the silence,

00:40it observed an interstellar visitor, Comet 3i Atlas.

00:44Now conspiracy theories are swirling.

00:47Some believe the comet had something to do with MAVEN's vanishing.

00:50Others blame aliens. NASA?

00:53They're still investigating, if MAVEN doesn't respond.

00:56It's a huge blow to Mars science,

00:58and a critical gap in the network that connects NASA's rovers to Earth.

01:02Let's hope MAVEN calls home soon.
