The six-wheeled geologist is getting some assistance in its in search for diverse rock samples that could be brought to Earth for deeper investigation.NASA Mars Exploration
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.

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.”

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: go.nasa.gov/3L3XYeS
