Look at this big chunky weirdo. 🪨 I love it.
I spotted this boulder from a distance and have come in for a closer look. It’s harder than most, with an odd shape and makeup. #SamplingMars could be a challenge here, but I’m up for it!

If at First You Don't Succeed… Persevere! - NASA
As discussed in last week’s blog, the Science Team has been attempting to obtain a sample of a conglomerate rock unit on top of the fan in Jezero crater.go.nasa.gov
It takes six custom wheels and some fancy suspension to stay safe on Mars, and the folks at LEGO have recreated my unusual mobility system in a new model.

Sometimes #SamplingMars has its surprises. Hear from one of my scientists about the first sample I collected, and how we made Martian “lemonade” when Mars gave us a lemon. 🔴 🍋

As I travel around #SamplingMars, I’m collecting little pieces of history – the history of our solar system. Each sample I collect has a story to tell. Hear what’s special about the pair we call “Hazeltop” and “Bearwallow.”

Hmm. After two tries drilling this pebbly outcrop, it seems this crumbly rock doesn’t want to hold together for a core sample. I’ll look for something similar at another spot nearby.

Zooming in on Belva Crater. Places like this, where nature has done the excavating for you, can be great for getting a look at exposed rocks from under the surface. Hooray for meteorites! ☄️

NASA's Perseverance Rover Captures View of Mars' Belva Crater
The six-wheeled scientist encountered the crater during its latest science campaign in search of rock samples that could be brought to Earth for deeper investigation.NASA Mars Exploration
Question: When you see something like this, do you say, “Huh, a pile of rocks.” – or something more like, “Whoa! Crazy tall, tilted, sedimentary layers! Formed by a fast-moving ancient river, maybe?”
(I think you know where I stand.)

Evidence left in rocks is leading scientists to rethink what watery environments looked like on ancient Mars.NASA Mars Exploration
When I recently dropped 10 lightsabers – I mean *sample tubes* – on Mars, I was laying the groundwork for a potentially thrilling sequel. Future droids may recover this special cache. Meanwhile, there’s more to do on this desert planet…
