Check out this patchwork of well-preserved mud cracks that @MarsCuriosity found. They show a history of wet-dry cycles on early Mars, which scientists think could have provided conditions for microscopic life to form. Latest findings: http://go.nasa.gov/3QtgykZ

Mars is spinning faster! 🌀 Before it retired last December, @NASAInSight sent back radio science data that’s providing new details about how fast Mars rotates and how much it wobbles. See what the latest findings mean: http://go.nasa.gov/47jcx8x

Happy 11th Landiversary, @MarsCuriosity! #OTD the rover survived its wild ride down to a safe landing on Mars. This mountaineering adventurer continues to explore and is facing its toughest climb yet. Catch up on Curiosity’s journey: http://go.nasa.gov/3KpQrr8

DYK? Four of @NASAPersevere’s Martian rock samples – “Swift Run,” “Skyland,” “Bearwallow,” and “Hazeltop” – all have names based on @ShenandoahNPS. Learn how NASA teams give names to features on Mars: http://go.nasa.gov/3Ncv6C0
#NASAMars


Billions of years ago, a river coursed through the area where @NASAPersevere is now. The rocks it brought in hold stories not only of where they came from, but how they got there. What could they reveal about possible ancient life on Mars? Read more: http://go.nasa.gov/3K5IXJA

Otherworldly (literally!) ✨

Two new ultraviolet views from NASA’s @MAVEN2Mars orbiter help show the movement of water vapor and ozone at Mars. MAVEN’s studies help reveal the planet’s climate history and potential for supporting past life.

Capturing its first rock samples was a big deal for @NASAPersevere – an accomplishment fit for a selfie!
#NASAMars


Back in 2021, @NASAPersevere had been scouting for a few months before finding the rock that would provide the first core samples collected on Mars. Learn what these samples could provide that scientists have never had before:

Meet another of the Mars samples that could be brought to Earth by #MarsSampleReturn. Hear from one of @NASAPersevere’s scientists about “Roubion,” the planned rock core that turned out to be something else entirely!

Was there ever life on Mars? đź”´

The samples @NASAPersevere is collecting as part of the #MarsSampleReturn campaign could hold the answer. See why one NASA scientist is especially excited about the samples taken from “Wildcat Ridge.”

Yogi? Bonanza King? Hogwallow Flats?

How do rocks and other features studied by our Mars rovers like @MarsCuriosity and @NASAPersevere get their sometimes unusual names? One of our mission team members explains:
#NASAMars


Calling all explorers in #Albuquerque! You may know that @NASAPersevere and the #MarsHelicopter are on display at @NMMNHS – but did you know that @nasa experts will be there Friday, May 5 to answer all your nerdiest space questions? See you there! 🚀 Info: http://bit.ly/3pcHlGo

How can you see what can’t be seen? By listening.

@NASAInSight spent four years listening closely to Mars with its super-sensitive seismometer, and a new study of two “marsquakes” is giving the clearest look yet at the Red Planet’s core. Read more: http://go.nasa.gov/3L3XYeS

NASA has selected 10 researchers to join the science team of @JAXA_en's Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission as NASA-supported participating scientists. The MMX mission, launching in 2024, will explore both Martian moons and return a sample from Phobos. https://go.nasa.gov/43H5GEd

Designed as a technology demonstration that would fly five times, NASA’s Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter has completed its 50th flight – and lately it's been negotiating some of the most hazardous terrain it’s encountered on the Red Planet. https://go.nasa.gov/4130o46
#NASAMars


Keep it rolling: a major software update for the @MarsCuriosity rover will enable the robotic geologist to drive faster, reduce wear and tear on its wheels, and do more of what the team calls “thinking while driving.” Details: https://go.nasa.gov/43Id7Ls

It’s spring on Mars, and love – make that ozone – is in the air! In this image from our MAVEN orbiter, the magenta color indicates the presence of ozone, which warms the region and causes the dynamic weather visible in the clouds. Details: https://bit.ly/417OGWz
