  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. It may be feasible to fabricate tiny reflective #nanorods from iron and aluminum found in the #Martian soil and launch them into the #atmosphere. “The interaction of those particles with the incoming sunlight ☀️ would then cause that solar energy to be preferentially forward scattered to the surface. That would then cause a very strong #greenhouse effect, and we can warm it up several tens of degrees.” 🌡️ ucf.edu/news/ucf-planetary-sci

  6. Captured 13 hours ago by Perseverance, as she steadily climbs toward the rim of Jezero Crater, leaving behind Neretva Vallis and the Bright Angel site. Slope angles of up to 23 degrees are anticipated on the journey.
