Look closely 👀 These “leopard spots” on a Martian rock are clues pointing to possibly the best signs of ancient microbial life we’ve found yet on Mars. To know for sure, we need to study the rock in labs on Earth. More on @NASAPersevere's findings: go.nasa.gov/4bZaB6p

Thank you, Ingenuity. You amazed us. You inspired us. You reminded us of what can happen when great minds and great determination are combined. Rest well. @NASAJPL @NASA #ThanksIngenuity
Flight 72. That’s the final flight for our Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter. Ingenuity and its team proved that powered, controlled flight on another world was possible. #ThanksIngenuity. You may rest, but your legacy will continue to soar: go.nasa.gov/4ba7byi

NASA is currently collecting samples on the surface of Mars to bring back to Earth. And what it finds could change the way we see space. Astrobiologist @bio_geo_chem explains what she’ll be looking for with @ossolalex on ‘The Future of Everything’. share.harkaudio.com/ifi8qGSt…

When I recently dropped 10 lightsabers – I mean *sample tubes* – on Mars, I was laying the groundwork for a potentially thrilling sequel. Future droids may recover this special cache. Meanwhile, there’s more to do on this desert planet… #MayThe4thBeWithYou

Flying into the future. 🚁 @NASA's Ingenuity Mars helicopter has proven we can do the impossible – fly on Mars. But not only has the #MarsHelicopter made history with its nearly 50 flights, it's also influencing future exploration on the Red Planet.

It's a privilege and a thrill to be part of such an amazing experience.
Back to the grind! I’m #SamplingMars yet again, with the first rock core of my new science campaign exploring the top of Jezero Crater’s delta. My coring drill is working well, and my team’s excited about what this rock may hold. Here’s why: go.nasa.gov/3JYkAwF

Join me LIVE Sunday (11:30am ET), on the @CBSSunday Morning Facebook page, for a conversation with @NASA’s Mars helicopter lead, Teddy Tzanetos! He’ll tell the incredible story of Ingenuity, the copter designed to fly 5 times and die—and yet is STILL FLYING, over a year later!

Two years ago today, I went for the ride of a lifetime: down through the Martian atmosphere to my new home. Go behind the scenes with the people who got me here and learn more about what it took to survive the “Seven Minutes of Terror.” 🔊 Listen: go.nasa.gov/3yfvIAu

Follow along with our fleet of robotic explorers: mars.nasa.gov/mars-explorati… Set out on your own virtual expedition to the Red Planet: eyes.nasa.gov/apps/solar-sys… 🔴🛰
Have humans ever visited Mars? Not yet, but we’ve sent rovers, landers, and orbiters to gather the information we'll need to keep future astronauts safe, and with @NASAArtemis, we’re working on new tech that could one day get humans to Mars. mars.nasa.gov/
