HiRISE 4K: Knobs, Bright Deposits, and Inverted Channels in Eberswalde Crater Parts of the crater have inverted channels that have higher relief because a more resistant material was deposited in the channel. Full cutout on Flickr: https://flic.kr/p/2s8YYnh #Mars #NASA #science

Curiosity is in the news - and rightly so - for its big discovery from months ago, but it's still sending back amazing images every day. Here are two new views of the fascinating rocks it's studying right now... Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS/fredk/S Atkinson

This data by itself can't be used to prove whether these organic molecules were created by biologic or geologic processes, but this finding does add to the growing list of organic compounds that we know can be preserved in the ancient rocks of Mars. Drill into the details: go.nasa.gov/3QiG52hA

From NASA: After years of lab work, the results are in: A rock that our Curiosity rover analyzed has the most diverse collection of carbon-containing molecules ever found on the Red Planet. Of 21 organic molecules found, 7 were detected for the first time on Mars go.nasa.gov/3QiG52h

De nouvelles molécules organiques ont été détectées par le rover martien Curiosity, dont une molécule contenant un cycle aromatique et de l'azote, ainsi que du benzothiophène. C'est dans l'échantillon issu du forage Mary Anning 3, riche en argiles, qu'a été faite cette découverte.

HiPOD: Translucent Ice on Dunes At the time of year we took the image, the whole scene was probably covered in carbon dioxide ice. Some of this ice is translucent, so you can see the dark dunes through it. https://uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_076844_2550 NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars

A Derbyshire farmer, clearly fed up with a growing trend of 'TikTokers' and social media tourists bothering his livestock, says he plans to breed-out his highland cows most attractive features to make them "less photogenic"

HiRISE 8K: Dunes in Abalos Undae It is possible that the dunes are no longer migrating and that the tiny ripples on them are the only active parts of the dunes today. Full cutout on Flickr: https://flic.kr/p/2s7HBQR NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars #NASA #science

HiPOD: Valley Networks of Mars This image features dense, highly branched valley networks, two branches of which seem to originate in circular features: ancient crater floors, or something else? https://uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_076869_1535 NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars #science #NASA

Curiosity approaching a small crater, about 10 meters (32 feet) in diameter. The mission team named this crater “Antofagasta”. Check out Abigail Fraeman's latest blog post for more insights on the forthcoming study of this crater: science.nasa.gov/blog/curiosi... @abbyfrae.bsky.social #Mars 🧪🔭

HiPOD: Downwind of the Barchan Dunes The science rationale for this beautiful image is to look for and measure seasonal changes due to wind (aeolian) processes. High flux dunes upwind, but how do they compare downwind? https://uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_076841_1380 #Mars #science #NASA

As you may know, I have a particular thing for Martian sand ripples - anyway here's a crop from the Perseverance rover Mastcam-Z image that particularly caught my eye.

We have more details about NASA's planned Space Reactor-1, which will use nuclear-electric propulsion to travel to Mars. It will carry three Mars helicopters that will land via a novel "skyfall" technique. Science instruments on SR-1 are planned but TBD. 🔭🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...
