To help keep @NASAArtemis astronauts safe from solar particles, NASA will be keeping an eye on the Sun — from Mars. 😎 See how the Perseverance rover will monitor potentially dangerous solar activity from its unique vantage point in the solar system: go.nasa.gov/4rvmclj

These “boxwork” formations on Mars may look strange – but they exist on Earth, too (though they’re usually hidden inside caves). Initially spotted by orbiters, the Curiosity rover has been exploring this area up close. Here's what it found: jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-cur…

For 20 years, our Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has searched the planet for signs of long-ago water. It has sent back photos that are not only stunning, but useful – they'll help us when future astronauts land on Mars to explore it. Which is your favorite?

Both Earth and Mars have been shaped by volcanic activity, creating some similar geologic features on each planet. One of these images shows Earth and the other shows Mars. Can you tell which is which? 🤔

Communication During two decades, MRO has supported NASA’s ground operations on Mars – from the Spirit and Opportunity rovers, to the Phoenix and InSight landers, to the Curiosity and Perseverance rovers. So far, MRO has relayed more than 2.3 terabits of data to Earth! 6/6

Preparing for Landing MRO can map landing site hazards, assess soil stability, provide images for post-landing assessment, and even capture images of spacecraft on descent! (This is a shot of the Curiosity rover under its parachute shortly before landing.) 5/6

Mars used to be warm, watery, and blanketed by a thick atmosphere. What happened? 🤔 NASA’s ESCAPADE mission just turned on its science instruments to find out. These twin spacecraft are helping prep for future human missions to the Red Planet. 🔴☀️ More: go.nasa.gov/4s5bKSm

Boxes full of science! 📦🧪 Curiosity is exploring this region of “boxwork” formations, which suggest ancient groundwater flowed on this part of the Red Planet later than scientists expected. go.nasa.gov/46oiDWr

Perseverance has a new skill: It can pinpoint its location without needing help from humans! The technology is made possible by tapping into a commercial processor originally used to communicate with the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter. Learn more: jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-per…
