  1. Two new mosaics of the area excavated by the uplifting and removal (and destruction) of the Atacama rock, captured by the left and right Mastcam eyes. Can you spot the 5 impacts of the laser shots described in the quoted post? Bonus points for finding another series of 5.

  6. ["La symphonie des planètes"] Tel est l'intitulé de cette soirée qui réunira Sylvestre Maurice, astronome à l'Université de Toulouse, concepteur des instruments #ChemCam et #SuperCam qui opèrent sur #Mars à bord des rovers #Curiosity et #Perseverance, et Serge Krichewsky, hautboïste de l’Orchestre national du Capitole de Toulouse.

    Cette conférence à deux voix sera proposée ce mardi soir, à la Cité de l'Espace. Belle soirée à celles et ceux d'entre vous qui auront la chance d'y assister 🤩

  7. [#MicroLIBS, successor to #ChemCam and #SuperCAM] Based on LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) technology, this new instrument, designed to be carried on board a #drone, will enable the components of the Martian surface to be precisely characterized, thereby acquiring data that is essential for understanding the origin and evolution of many rocks, whether igneous or sedimentary.

  8. [#MicroLIBS, successeur de #ChemCam et #SuperCAM] Basé sur la technique du LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy), ce nouvel instrument destiné à être embarqué à bord d'un #drone permettra de finement caractériser les composantes de la surface martienne, et donc d'acquérir des données indispensables pour comprendre l’origine et l’évolution de bon nombre de roches, qu’elles soient magmatiques ou sédimentaires.

  9. Après #ChemCam & #SuperCam, voici #MicroLIBS : la nouvelle génération d’instruments laser français pour l’exploration martienne. 🔴
    Un concentré de technologie… dans la taille d’une boîte à chaussures !

  11. [#ScienceNews on #Mars] The #ChemCam instrument installed on NASA's #Curiosity rover has identified the presence of #manganese in particularly high concentrations within #rocks that dot the floor of the #Gale crater.

    This discovery shows that these #sediments were formed in a river, a delta or near the shore of an ancient lake. It raises questions about #oxydation processes on Mars... and reinforces the hypothesis of past #habitability...

  12. [#ActuScience sur #Mars] L'instrument #ChemCam installé sur le rover #Curiosity de la NASA a identifié la présence de #manganèse en concentrations particulièrement élevées au sein de #roches qui tapissent le fond du cratère #Gale.

    Cette découverte atteste que ces #sédiments se sont formés dans une rivière, un delta ou près du rivage d'un ancien lac. Elle questionne les processus d' #oxydation sur Mars ... et renforce l'hypothèse d'une #habitabilité passée ...
