The first reaction from the NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover team when they saw this rock was, "Whoa, what is that? What could have caused that?" Learn all about the rover's 25th rock sample, dubbed Sapphire Canyon, and the clues it offers about possible past life on Mars.

Jezero Crater's rim is a treasure trove of rocks! Since January, ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover has collected 3 samples, including a rock that's possibly 3.9 billion years old, one that shows signs of ancient water, and one with markings the team has never seen before. go.nasa.gov/3E3E4kR

Billions of years ago on Mars, Jezero Crater held a lake 22 miles wide. The data and samples I’m gathering today can help scientists learn more about the geologic history of Mars – and may one day tell us if microscopic life ever existed here.

Over 1,500 sols spent on Mars – and the dust still keeps me company🙂 Can you spot the dust devil? These columns of air and dust are common on the Red Planet. Scientists can learn more about Martian weather patterns and dust on the planet by studying these whirling wonders.

Not only could geomagnetism influence what happens on the Earth's surface — the converse could also be true: The structure of the crust could feed back on convection in the Earth's core, affecting the geomagnetic field 🤯 nature.com/articles/d4158…

Dear Friends, sharing some news here about my upcoming transition. While I’m sad to be leaving School of Earth and Space Exploration Arizona State University after 19 incredible years, I am excited and honored to have the opportunity to contribute to Scripps Institution of Oceanography UC San Diego in the years to come.
