May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

The Curiosity rover has traveled a long way, with much more to explore. See its current position: go.nasa.gov/3ZEHYbj and latest news: science.nasa.gov/mission/msl…

How did Mars become the planet we know today?
New data from @MarsCuriosity points to strong water evaporation in its ancient past – a possible clue into how the Red Planet became a desert. go.nasa.gov/3zXgSlV

Happy “landiversery" @MarsCuriosity! For 10 years, Curiosity has worked to reveal the potentially habitable climate of ancient Mars.
To celebrate, we’re breaking down 5 of the most significant discoveries made using the rover’s suite of #astrobiology instruments. A thread 🧵:
ALT NASA's Curiosity Rover poses for a selfie on Mars. The full body of the rover and it's rectangle head with circular camera "eye" look at you head-on. Curiosity's white body is coated in a layer of red Martian dust as it stands on the baren, rocky surface of the Red Planet. About 984 feet (300 meters) behind the rover, Vera Rubin Ridge rises up. Behind it lies the floor of Gale Crater, which Curiosity is exploring, and the northern rim of the crater. Just left of the rover are the two drill holes, called "Glen Etive 1" (right) and "Glen Etive 2" (left). Curiosity performed its first wet-chemistry experiment on a drilled sample at this location.

While increased methane levels measured by @MarsCuriosity are exciting, as possible indicators for life, it’s important to remember this is an early science result. To maintain scientific integrity, the #science team will continue to analyze the data before confirming results.
