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: go.nasa.gov/3QtgykZ

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: 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.

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

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: bit.ly/417OGWz
