Future explorers, know before you go: NASA's Mars rovers have scouted the landscape, measured radiation and other environmental conditions, and tested pulling oxygen from the atmosphere. @NASAPerservere also carries test swatches of spacesuit materials. https://t.co/C9ZbbLXP4O https://t.co/Hkcsvrxhf0

Scientists studying samples aboard the @MarsCuriosity rover have found the largest organic compounds on Mars so far. This raises intriguing possibilities in the search for past life – and bodes well for plans to bring @NASAPersevere's samples to Earth. https://t.co/LiXs4y1MZ2 https://t.co/njZgUbd2x7

It's almost spring in Earth's Northern Hemisphere. On Mars, spring brings avalanches to the north polar ice deposits. Our Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured this one in the act of plunging down a 1,640-foot-tall (500-meter-tall) cliff. https://t.co/QOf30lrvkC https://t.co/L4muwuw0aA

See that handwriting? It’s a sweet reminder of the humans who built me. These close-up shots are of my APXS instrument, which measures the amounts of chemical elements in the rocks and soils here on Mars. https://t.co/6wn4xd2tpj

Is your name one of the 2.6 million riding aboard our spacecraft? Those names, along with inspirational messages about the journey to Jupiter's ocean moon Europa, will pass by Mars during tomorrow's gravity assist maneuver https://t.co/GDWTfXunqU @googlearts https://t.co/xOHlpEUNuj

Did Mars ever have the necessary conditions to support life? Ferrihydrite, the mineral that gives the Red Planet its color, could give us a clue! https://t.co/xRNNW7Lzsr https://t.co/FlIHZeYLUv

Our spacecraft is currently inbound for Mars! No, we're not lost – on March 1 we'll perform a gravity assist maneuver, using the Red Planet to help shape our trajectory out to Jupiter and its ocean moon Europa. https://t.co/1mzLZoSmCt https://t.co/jF7OLq4m3x

Did you know: When I landed on Feb. 18, 2021, Mars and Earth were 127 million miles apart. Today, because of our unique orbits, we're 73 million miles apart. That means your birthday wishes will get to me nearly 5 minutes faster today! 🥳 https://t.co/isqNyWQ6fP

Seismic data from InSight is changing the way we study Mars’ interior. After comparing marsquake data and impact crater images from orbit, researchers found that shaking caused by impacts penetrates deeper than previously thought. https://t.co/LTXAz27Gza https://t.co/AJoSietEQx

It’s International LEGO Day! Did you know @NASA and LEGO Group have a long history of collaboration? Let’s celebrate the Mars missions that inspired sets that aren’t only fun to build, but also teach kids and adults alike about space, engineering, and exploration. 🧵

On Jan. 18, 2024, the Ingenuity helicopter took to the Martian skies for its 72nd – and final – flight. 🖤 This small rotorcraft proved that powered, controlled flight was possible on another planet and laid the groundwork for future aerial exploration of other worlds. https://t.co/VhpCfJOvPo
