  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 🇯🇵 #MMX will launch* in 📆 2026 and enter #Mars 🔴 orbit a year later. It will deploy a small #German and #French-built rover which will travel around #Phobos for at least 100 days. Once MMX collects its samples, it will lift off, leave Mars in 2030 and return to Earth in 2031 planetary.org/space-missions/m

  16. 🛰️ New paper by Němec et al.: After analyzing ~10 years of #MAVEN wave data, the authors report a #lightning-like electromagnetic #whistler signal in the #Martian #ionosphere. Its frequency dispersion matches theoretical propagation through #Mars’ ionosphere and crustal magnetic fields, suggesting that electrical discharges may occur in the Martian #atmosphere.

  23. We can consider three possible responses to the discovery of indigenous life on #Mars 🔴

    • Leave it alone
    • Alter Mars to enhance the chances of that biota to become a global scale biology
    • Collect samples for laboratory preservation, then replace or augment it with #terrestrial life forms

    It is very unlikely that we would drive to extinction any native #Martian #microorganisms 🦠 by extending the habitability of Mars

  28. 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
