  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🛰️🌕 #SouthKorea’s #Danuri lunar orbiter snapped #photos of a new impact site on the #moon following a high-speed collision involving a defunct #SpaceX rocket.

    The resulting #crater formed near #Einstein crater along the #lunar terminator where day and night meet. #Space agency officials published the #images on social media to document the aftermath of the crash.

  3. NASA’s Curiosity Takes Close Look at Rock That Got Stuck on Drill

    This mosaic is made up of eight images stitched together. The color has been approximately white-balanced to resemble how the scene would appear under daytime lighting conditions on Earth.

  4. 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.

  5. NASA’s Curiosity Rover Frees Its Drill From a Rock

    This series of images shows Mars rover Curiosity as it got a rock stuck to the drill on the end of its robotic arm and, after waving the arm and running the drill a few times, finally detached the rock.

  7. Two days later, looks like we're still stuck in the same position

    Here is a Stereo3D view captured yesterday by Curiosity with her dual navigation cameras. To go 3D: eyes' lines of sight parallel, left image for left eye, right image for right eye. #Mars

  9. Shot (August 2024) from the rim of the subsidence crated, Project Faultless unclear detonation site. The top of the rusted shaft to the left was flush with the surface prior to the detonation of a 1 MT device at 3200 feet in 1968 #faultless #nuclear #nucleartestsite #subsidence #crater #projectcrosstie #atomic #AEC #nuke

  10. Perseverance Rover to Begin Long Climb Up Martian Crater Rim

    Priority regions to study at the top of the crater are nicknamed “Witch Hazel Hill” and “Pico Turquino”, which contains ancient fractures that may have been caused by past hydrothermal activity.
