We've studied the moons of Mars from Earth, from orbit, and even in the sky as seen from the surface. (This view comes from the Curiosity rover.) Now, the @JAXA_en MMX mission will see them up close, and even bring a sample home. NASA will be assisting each step of the way. 1/21510884038.6K

NASA MarsRT @NASASolarSystem: This May, Psyche flew by Mars, using its gravity for a speed boost. In December, Europa Clipper will do the same at Earth! Both spacecraft still have long journeys. Psyche will rendezvous with an asteroid of the same name in 2029, and Europa Clipper arrives at Jupiter in 2030.03301.8K
Posty @NASAMarsSetting records is just a bonus. Longer drives are putting more geological diversity within reach faster, taking the rover from an ancient lakebed up a fossilized river system and onto a crater rim, where an entirely different ancient habitat may await.66574423.9K

Posty @NASAMarsThe yardang layer extends roughly 10 miles (16 km) across the northwestern reaches of Mount Sharp, a mountain that Curiosity has been ascending since 2014. Scientists hope to get even more amazing imagery — and answers to how these cliffs were created.73638117.6K
This storm occurred near the location of our Opportunity rover. Such storms sometimes presented challenges for the solar-powered explorer. In 2007, Opportunity captured images of the sky during a separate dust storm, seen here.Hubble @NASAHubbleImagine combining Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. That was about the size of the Mars dust storm seen by Hubble in 2005. It's the bright, orange-red portion near the center:2410286468.5K
Posty @NASAMarsSpeaking of dust storms, happy Martian New Year! 🎉 Today marks the beginning of the planet's year, which lasts 687 Earth days. This is Mars year 39 ⏤ the count began with a notable dust storm observed in 1956.Human Spaceflight @esaspaceflight📅 Mars year 1 started on 11 April 1955. But why? 🌪️ That date was chosen so that the 1956 global dust storm, the first well-documented one, falls at the very start of the count.5209216K

NASA MarsRT @NASASolarSystem: Searching for clues about Mars’ ancient past… right here on Earth. Our Perseverance rover found greenish "reduction spots" on Mars. On Earth, spots like these can be formed by microbes, so NASA scientists headed to Scotland to take a closer look.06201.8K
NASA MarsRT @NASA_Technology: NASA has selected 5 U.S. winners as part of the agency's Deep Space Food Challenge: Mars to Table 🍽️ This competition sought innovative solutions for space food systems that would provide safe, nutritious meals to astronauts living and working in space.
