Stratigraphy Preserved on the Jezero Crater Rim Reveals Repeated Impacts on Early Mars: #Perseverance Rover Reads Record of Ancient #Mars #Impacts: https://www.nasa.gov/solar-system/planets/mars/nasas-perseverance-rover-reads-record-of-ancient-mars-impacts/

Earth and the Martian moon Phobos dance together in a series of images recently acquired by NASA’s #Perseverance Mars rover: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-perseverance-rover-watches-earth-vanish-behind-martian-moon/?utm_source=iContact&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=1-nasajpl&utm_content=media-perseverance-20260805 - Earth appears as a point of light in the Martian sky, disappearing behind the crescent of Phobos, the larger of Mars’ two moons; this is the first time humanity has captured from the surface of another planet an observation of Earth disappearing behind an object.

Spatially distributed complex #organic matter detected in an ancient river valley in #Jezero crater, #Mars: #Raman spectrometer onboard the #Perseverance rover, we report the heterogeneous distribution of organic carbon within mudstones located in an ancient river valley on Mars. Measurements of two mudstones show hundreds of organic detections, making this the most robust organic detection in Jezero crater thus far, and, to our knowledge, the only detection of macromolecular carbon on a natural rock surface on Mars."
