Read my @SpringerNature Communities article about our #newpaper in @NatureComms, where we investigate the curious cometary-like outgassing activity of #asteroid Phaethon ahead of the @JAXA_en DESTINY+ mission scheduled to launch later this year 🛰

New images confirm the #MarsHelicopter sustained rotor damage during Flight 72. Our helicopter has flown its final flight.

A sequence of images from the front Hazcam of @NasaCuriosity as it drills into a rock on Sol 3980. The images cover a period of ~ 1 hour.

@Lemommeringue A map I created of Jezero Crater (Mars), the exploration site of NASAs Perseverance Rover...but in the style of J.R.R. Tolkien. Not all who wander are lost 🛰️

[Graham Driver @CryoGray]

What was Mars like in the past? Jezero Crater, the exploration site of NASAs Perseverance Rover, was once filled with liquid water and may have been a habitable environment for ancient life on early Mars.

These images show your location on the caldera's edge (camera pans right to left) and another showing whole of Olympus Mons. FYI, this volcano is the size of France!

[Graham Driver @CryoGray]

It's twilight on Mars, and you're standing looking across the 70km-diameter caldera atop Olympus Mons, one of the tallest mountains/volcanoes in our Solar System.

I made this visualisation from @NASA MOLA and CTX data using @Esri #ArcGIS. #PlanetaryScience #Mars #solarsystem

I recently went to Japan and saw this tiny island called Nioh-Jima in Matsushima Bay. A very interesting mix of lithologies and erosion. Go on geologists, I know you want to interpret...get to it! 🔨🪨🔍

Love the use of the verb loitering! "To stand or wait around without any apparent purpose"

I'd love a good loiter around the lunar surface! More of this please...and can I suggest a little dawdle too? To a nearby crater? Nothing urgent ❤️🤗
