Did you ever collect rocks? 💎 The @NASAPersevere rover has gathered the ultimate rock collection — one that could reveal answers to the biggest mysteries of Mars. Here's a tour of the samples the rover has collected so far & the stories they may tell 🧵https://t.co/xPqSfD1VkZ https://t.co/ndb9ugyKTh

Not that they haven't captured some amazing shots of the sky, like this @MarsCuriosity view of Mars' moon Phobos, alongside a star-like Earth! https://t.co/CYXlYb4NQh https://t.co/FCZNW7VDKj

#OTD in 2001, NASA set out on one of its most enduring odysseys: the Mars Odyssey orbiter made the first global mineral map of the planet's surface. Nearly a quarter-century later, it's still doing science and acting as a comms relay for ground operations https://t.co/lzqLRZjj9B https://t.co/qJ37VdiG3z

A whirlwind of dust devil observations by the @NASAPersevere rover will add to our knowledge about Martian weather. https://t.co/6X6Tovf4uH

Hi, Mars! 👋 In Hubble's 12th year, the telescope got a great look of the Red Planet when it was 43 million miles from Earth – the closest it'd been since 1988. This view shows white water-ice clouds and a large amount of swirling orange dust storms: https://t.co/G2IsWwgOOb https://t.co/OdV09Ea1xK

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
