Some discoveries answer questions; the best ones inspire new ones. For generations, NASA missions have turned curiosity into knowledge and knowledge into new possibilities.
There’s still so much left to discover, and we’re just getting started.

A sandstorm captured in stone.
Curiosity spotted these rocks that formed after ripples of sand climbed over each other during an ancient Martian storm.

Perseverance is only the second vehicle to travel the distance of a marathon on another planet, following NASA's Opportunity rover, which accomplished the feat in 2015.

It’s a Martian marathon! NASA's Perseverance Rover has surpassed a total distance of 26.2 miles (42.195 kilometers) of travel on the Red Planet. It crossed the milestone while exploring intriguing ancient terrain to the west of Jezero Crater.

@ImAnand_AI Different terrain, different science campaigns, but it will happen!

On the 21st day of its mission in Mars's north polar region, NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander used its scoop OTD in 2008 to reveal lumps of white ice under the surface of the rusty soil.
Scientists watched how the ice sublimed over 4 days, concluding that it was likely water ice.
