The final report evaluating Mars 2020's proposal for it's first extended mission is available now. Lots of exciting science ahead for Perseverance!

In 2019, @jdtarnas et al. reported hydrated silica in and around Jezero with 9(!) different hypotheses for its origin. Bykov et al. have now significantly narrowed down the options for this astrobiologically important mineral on Mars! https://t.co/JE5JuPefGM

The latest Perseverance rover results reveal that carbonates in Jezero crater likely formed right where they sit, potentially aided by hydrothermal and lake activity.

This "in-situ" carbonation might be the secret to how Mars stored its carbon. 🌋💧

I had a great time as a guest on the Geology Bites podcast! Podcast host Oliver Stimpel and I talk geologic mapping on Mars and the Perseverance rover mission: https://t.co/ebZCTtfETU

Katie Stack Morgan @kstackmorgan vom @NASAJPL berichtet, wie sie mit #Mars2020 hofft, Biosignaturen von früherem Leben auf dem Mars zu finden. Sie hat Stromatolithen mitgebracht als Beispiel für Gestein, dass man für spätere Rückholung einsammeln würde.

When we selected Jezero crater as the landing site for #Mars2020, it was dependent on the rover’s landing technology working the way we expect it to. This week we completed our reviews of the system, determining that we can move forward, full steam ahead! https://t.co/jhvM3q8Vy1

Jezero here we come!

Grateful for the thorough work of the @NASAJPL #M2020 entry, descent and landing #EDL team led by @icancallubetty. Leading the review was the amazing Gentry Lee, innovator and “Mars Landing Expert Extraordinaire” (with hat) https://t.co/up4ajUaPOL

@bethanyehlmann You mean you don’t want to work some quad charts via tweet? ;)
