New paper out in GRL by my fantastic PhD student Prakhar Sinha (who is looking for a postdoc) - the north polar ice cap of Mars isn't just ice and dust, it also contains dark and glassy sediments, perhaps from impacts nearby and across the planet! Mini-🧵

🚁 #MarsHelicopter update: Just like on Earth, Martian weather can cause flight delays! A recent dust storm on the Red Planet prevented Ingenuity from flying, so Flight 19 is now set for no earlier than Jan. 23. https://t.co/I6Bjcqa8a9

The @NASAPersevere rover team recently discovered that the bedrock their six-wheeled explorer has been driving likely formed from magma, which has implications for understanding critical events in the history of Jezero Crater - as well as the rest of Mars. https://t.co/NPPxv4aE39
