Gallons = small waves. A new international study led by Ben-Gurion University has challenged the prevailing theory that different physical conditions allow the development of galleons that do not exist on Earth
Curiosity's rear Hazcam recorded the shadow of the rover's rear in a 12-hour view toward the Gale Basin floor. Several factors caused several artifacts in the image, including a black spot, the sun's distorted appearance, and rows of white pixels extending from the sun. NASA/JPL-Caltech

What is NASA planning for the ambitious Mars sample return mission?

  • No comments
In addition to bringing the first sample collected from Mars to Earth, this very complex mission will include the first launch from the soil of another planet, and also the first rendezvous in orbit around another planet. The return of the samples from Mars is a partnership with ESA (European Space Agency)
