“Developed in cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA), PLAYMOBIL brings the excitement of space exploration straight into children’s rooms! Two astronauts have landed safely on the Red Planet with their research rocket – ready to collect soil samples and bring them back to Earth! The rocket features a modular design: it can be extended or shortened, depending on the mission, and docks onto a mobile landing platform that serves as a base station on Mars. Movable crane arms help collect the soil samples and securely store them inside the rocket – either in the front storage compartment or in the rocket-shaped nose cone, ready for launch. The rocket includes seats for both astronauts. Prepare for liftoff – the next PLAYMOBIL research mission is about to begin!..”

Meteorite found in Sahara desert may be 1st evidence of lost solar system world

While we are here choosing #Earth and choosing each other, we need to have a talk about how #colonial "frontier" mindset impacts the way "#explorers" conceive their missions and expeditions.

And while we're here, TODAY is the day we strip the names non-Indigenous "explorers" have given to #astrogeology field sites in #Nunavut & #Canada.

Goodbye, "von Braun Slope" - you never were and never will be.

May those who dared speak that name never walk your rocky expanse again. (1/5)

#30DayMapChallenge Day 18: Out of this world 🌍➡️🚀

I mapped #Mars using the blended MOLA + HRSC elevation dataset from #USGS #Astrogeology. Styled in #QGIS with Martian colours + hillshade, then explored the new #3D Globe view, works beautifully!

🎥 The video shows a rotating Mars, glowing in rust and shadow.

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🔴🪐 The colors of #Mars tell a story about what happened to its #atmosphere billions of years ago.

Today Mars has blue #sunsets and red days - the opposite of #Earth. But ancient Mars had blue skies during the day, just like we do now. The change happened when Mars lost its magnetic field and solar winds stripped away its atmosphere.
