Updated areoHDR app for iPhone, iPad & Vision Pro released today! With subscription access to images from all 1500+ sols! Free version with latest 200. New: Direct sol access and a Mars calendar with Earth dates and Mars season indicator for the rover location. apps.apple.com/app/areohdr/...
Weird triple correlation of the day: 1. At 178m above today's sea level a water wave erosion pattern at the Khafre Pyramid. 2. At the same elevation, whale skeletons can be found in the desert at Wadi Al Hitan. 3. At that elevated ocean level, the geographic center of all land on Earth is Giza...

About ionizing radiation effects on humans during a trip to Mars the Mars Matters channel provides great explanations and describes the 5 different sources of radiation in space in detail. Sending a tobacco smoker without cigarettes to Mars would even decrease his cancer risk.

Some group at NASA decided in 2021 for a 600 mSv career-long radiation dose limit for all their astronauts, disregarding biological diversity, age, and reproductive health effect differences! That's not science. 📷 nasa.gov/wp-content/u... and nationalacademies.org/news/2021/06...

The ancients observed those huge electric discharges from the ionosphere with their own eyes and preserved them in rock art and petroglyphs to remember over generations. Those were most likely more intense sprites than today's.

This small surface area on Mars shows features similar to the leopard spots speculated to be bio-signatures in the 2025-09-10 Nature paper and NASA press briefing. Circular and irregular nodules with large color contrast to the surrounding in the brittle material which appears to be like clay...

Mars detail of the day: 1337 Mars days are 2 Mars years!

Can be explored with the Mars Calendar in the areoHDR app: apps.apple.com/app/areohdr/...
On Android the website works as alternative, but doesn't have the nice interactive calendar: areo.info/mars20

Dunes on Comet 67P and albedo pattern swirls at magnetic anomalies on the Moon, like Reiner Gamma the planned landing site of @intuitivemachines.bsky.social IM-3 mission, were produced in laboratory experiments by Prof. Mihaly Horányi and team. (video link next in thread)

Another try to capture 3I/Atlas was scheduled with the Navcam on Perseverance Mars Rover a few hours ago. The bright spot on the left is the moon Phobos with -6.5 magnitude. 2025-10-04 06:13:44 UTC. The exact UTC time when images were taken is shown below each image on areo.info/mars20/ecams... .

Experiment: UV light moves sand magnitudes farther than previous assumptions allow. Albedo differences like Reiner Gamma are still actively sustained. Relates to the lunar dust detector LDEX on LADEE. "The dust environment of airless planetary bodies", Horányi, Szalay, Wang.

Water clouds (liquid or ice) yesterday on Mars. Clear skies 5 days earlier. The panorama shows haze on the horizon and a bonus dust devil. On areo.info/mars20/ecams... in HDR or with the areoHDR app, more clouds are visible in other images from that day which are overexposed white in non-HDR.

Perseverance Rover reached a location on Mars which rises rock weirdness to a new level! Pattern like roots or splattered liquid glass and patches imitating lichens. The red material didn't move during brush cleaning by the robot. More from the same day Sep 20, 2025 on areo.info/mars20/ecams...
