Did you know that Mars has kinds of clouds you've probably not seen before, such as “twilight clouds,” “vortex clouds,” and “disk clouds”? Help NASA scientists by classifying Martian clouds with this new @DoNASAScience project:

Ever feel like someone's watching you? That's how I felt when I observed this transit of the Martian moon Phobos! The pupil in this "googly eye" is the potato-shaped moon, and the iris is our Sun. Learn more:

The journey continues for @NASAPersevere ! Since landing on Mars in 2021, our robotic explorer has driven 18+ miles (~30 km) and has collected 24 samples of rock and regolith as well as one air sample. More on the rover's progress and what lies ahead:

How did Mars become the planet we know today? New data from @MarsCuriosity points to strong water evaporation in its ancient past – a possible clue into how the Red Planet became a desert.

There's a dust season on Mars, but have you heard of an occlusion season? From @MarsCuriosity 's perspective, Earth is often positioned high in the Martian sky, but right now, it’s lower, and hilly terrain is making direct communication between the rover and its team more

In 2003, Mars orbiters captured images of “spiders” on Mars, and it wasn't clear how these strange shapes formed. But recent experiments may confirm a theory that these formations are carved by CO2 gas plumes. Learn how scientists conducted these tests:

Congratulations to @MarsCuriosity and the team for surpassing 1 million laser shots on the Red Planet! The rover uses ChemCam to analyze rocks and soil. Did you know? ChemCam was the only laser operating on Mars until @NASAPersevere brought SuperCam in 2021.

What's that they say about the meaning of life? Earlier this month, I drilled my 42nd rock sample. My samples are different than @NASAPersevere 's... Rather than collecting a core, I powderize rocks, then analyze the sample with onboard instruments.

Update: I've started my climb up the Jezero Crater rim! My team has a few spots for me to explore along the way – but they're most excited about an area over the crest and outside the crater called Witch Hazel Hill, which includes the most ancient Martian crust on my journey.

Oh, how Mars landings have changed. Pathfinder used giant airbags to land on the Red Planet. A decade later, @NASAJPL developed the sky crane maneuver to safely land @MarsCuriosity and @NASAPersevere . More on this engineering evolution:

What's that about sticking the landing? 🥇 12 years ago, my landing on the Red Planet required 76 pyrotechnic devices and had zero margin for error – and my team absolutely nailed it. Do you remember the drama of those "7 Minutes of Terror"?

Was Mars home to microscopic life in the distant past? An intriguing rock spotted by @NASAPersevere has qualities that fit the definition of a possible indicator of ancient life. But what did we find, and how will we know for sure?
