The car-sized Perseverance rover drilled a core sample on Monday (Nov. 15), filling a titanium tube with Red Planet rock for the third time ever.
"Another little piece of Mars to carry with me. My latest sample is from a rock loaded with the greenish mineral olivine, and there are several ideas among my science team about how it got there. Hypotheses are flying!
Taking a 'walk' on Mars | News | circlevilleherald.com
Students at Walnut Elementary sit around a map of Mars and share their observations from walking on the surface.
Students at Walnut Elementary earlier this year had the chance to participate in Space Week, in which they learned about the solar system, individual planets, the moon and all things outer space.
How NASA's Curiosity Rover Is Making Mars Safer for Astronauts

Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak's Soul Simulacrum | The New Yorker
In March, Bruno Mars and the rapper Anderson .Paak released "Leave the Door Open," a shimmering retro serenade that is as goofy as it is sincere.
Neither artist is a stranger to these sounds. After devising some of the biggest hits of the twenty-tens, Mars, a pop polyglot famous for his histrionic ballads, made a definitive move toward the finesse of retro R. & B.
Welcome to Mars! Frequently Asked Questions | The New Yorker
Is there air here?
Great question! Scientists and other busybodies are quick to assert that Mars has no air. This is simply not true. Mars has loads of air; it's just different.
Different how?
You might not realize it, but Earth's air has a lot more than just oxygen. Nitrogen, argon, bees—when you breathe air on Earth, there's no telling what you're inhaling. Mars's air, on the other hand, is completely, a hundred per cent pure. It contains only one ingredient: dust.
Mars astronauts could be disconnected from Earth | SYFY WIRE
Future Mars-tronauts may take another giant leap for mankind, but with at least 40 million miles between us, they also could end up isolating themselves.
Earthlings are going to depend on each other, with no more of their species on a desolate frozen wasteland.
"This was probably caused by progressive increase in crew autonomy," Shved told SYFY WIRE. "During their adaptation, the crew members familiarized themselves with all the systems, schedules, experiments, and conditions, so their need for instructions and guidance diminished."

Mastcam-Z's First Martian Sunset
This sunset on Mars was captured by NASA's Perseverance Mars rover using its Mastcam-Z camera system on Nov. 9, 2021, the 257th Martian day, or sol, of the mission.
Martian sunsets typically stand out for their distinctive blue color . Fine dust in the atmosphere permits blue light to penetrate the atmosphere more efficiently than colors with longer wavelengths.
Most Mars meteorites on Earth come from an area smaller than Manhattan
Mars is still quite mysterious, despite all we've learned about the planet in recent years. We still have a lot to learn about its interior and surface evolution and how changes affected the planet's history and habitability.
The geological information contained in these meteorites would be even more valuable if we knew exactly where they came from. A team of researchers says they've figured it out.
