  1. Nightfall

    Ages ago, looking west from the top of Jezero Crater's western rim. #Perseverance is presently in the vicinity of the area noted as Lac De Charmes

  3. Coyote sent word he's coming to Jezero Crater in one of his boulder cars. #Perseverance is doing its best to break his invisibility cloak and see him approaching … 🙃

  5. Icecream rock

    Incidentally, it's dry-ice cold there on Mars, and burning hot here on (northern hemisphere) Terra.

    Contrast is how the universe knows it exists.

  9. Apparently #Perseverance is looking for something interesting there, but we don't know what. The #Mars2020 mission page was last updated on Dec 19, 2025.

    (It's space economy stupid, says a voice from the past)

    Nevertheless, the rover keeps on going. New location on Sol 1927, RMC 89.4246

    Map made in #QGIS using data from #NASA's #MMGIS, #HiRISE and #USGS.

  11. This feeling of everything being abandoned or falling apart under the fascist chainsaw in the so called "space economy" for billionaires

    At least the #Mars2020 Analyst's Notebook got updated on April 7, 2026, with data up to Sol 1739 (solar conjunction), so, enjoy it while it lasts…

    The 3rd image (from the Analyst's Notebook) shows the effect the loss of MAVEN had on #Perseverance's operations when it happened, early last December.

  13. Meanwhile #Perseverance, a manifestation of what the #US has been capable of achieving in the space frontier when led by serious people, gives us a good reason to be positive about #America's 250th birthday on this 4th of July.

  17. « Pint of Science » est un événement mondial durant lequel les scientifiques peuvent vulgariser leurs thématiques de recherche auprès du grand-public… dans des contextes plus que conviviaux, puisque l’événement se déroule dans des bars, autour de boissons (à consommer avec modération !).

    Le 18 mai 2026, dans le bar lyonnais « House of Bears », l’équipe d’e-planets était représentée par Maxime Pineau et Victor Tricaud (en remplacement d’Élise Clavé) qui ont bien évidemment parlé de notre planète préférée : Mars

    Maxime a présenté l’évolution de notre vision de la planète rouge : depuis les dieux antiques jusqu’aux données des missions spatiales modernes, en passant par les grands épisodes des premières observations télescopiques. 

    L’audience, laissée sur sa faim par une grande question laissée en suspens, à savoir « Mars habitable, mais habitée par le passé ? », n’attendait plus que la seconde présentation pour être éclairée… 

    Deuxième sujet de la soirée présenté par Victor : la mission de la NASA Mars2020 et son fameux rover Perseverance. La clientèle du bar a pu découvrir la merveille technologique qu’est ce rover et les grands enjeux de cette mission dans le cratère Jezero. Cette soirée de vulgarisation s’est terminée par un top 3 des grandes découvertes de la mission : du quartz sur Mars, un lac dans le cratère Jezero à l’histoire complexe et tumultueuse, et enfin, des roches avec des “tâches de léopard” montrant de potentielles biosignatures !

    Mais alors Victor, Mars habitable, oui, mais Mars habitée ? « Pour le savoir, il faudra ramener ces précieux échantillons prélevés par le rover sur Terre ! ».

    Cette soirée Pint of Science s’est poursuivie par une longue séance de questions-réponses et discussions entre Maxime, Victor et les participants de l’événement. 

    Une soirée de pintes de science pleinement réussie, dans la joie et la bonne humeur: absolument à refaire !
