There's a dust season on Mars, but have you heard of an occlusion season? From @MarsCuriosity's perspective, Earth is often positioned high in the Martian sky, but right now, it’s lower, and hilly terrain is making direct communication between the rover and its team more https://t.co/G2fhBl5TQ0

In 2003, Mars orbiters captured images of “spiders” on Mars, and it wasn't clear how these strange shapes formed. But recent experiments may confirm a theory that these formations are carved by CO2 gas plumes. Learn how scientists conducted these tests: https://t.co/tsseEoQyef https://t.co/A8ohUJ1hnv

Congratulations to @MarsCuriosity and the team for surpassing 1 million laser shots on the Red Planet! The rover uses ChemCam to analyze rocks and soil. Did you know? ChemCam was the only laser operating on Mars until @NASAPersevere brought SuperCam in 2021. https://t.co/iEi9Ev5Cu2

It's #NationalAviationDay, but that doesn't seem quite adequate for this pioneering rotorcraft – the first powered, controlled flight on any world other than Earth. 🫶 Celebrate by downloading the #MarsHelicopter commemorative poster: https://t.co/1cVj7AnBMW https://t.co/iamAstm3KE

.@NASAPersevere is beginning its 5th science campaign: ascending from the floor of Jezero Crater to its rim! Here, the rover may encounter the most ancient crust of Mars, which could unlock new clues about the planet's distant past. https://t.co/OGrWlbcHpD https://t.co/URpP6rbTFM

Oh, how Mars landings have changed. Pathfinder used giant airbags to land on the Red Planet. A decade later, @NASAJPL developed the sky crane maneuver to safely land @MarsCuriosity and @NASAPersevere. More on this engineering evolution: https://t.co/YPfZSLq6TQ https://t.co/dvxja7gV46
