Check out 🏆A Biologist’s Guide to Mars Dirt, where we present a receipt for soluble Mars Regolith Media (sMRM) that best simulates what you’d get if you added water to Mars dirt.
Will anything grow in this media? Stay tuned!

Ingenuity Mars Helicopter flies again as first drone on Rose Parade float
NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter is now the first drone to fly on a Rose Parade float. The floral-but-flight-worthy display is just one of the highlights on the JPL-inspired "Rover Rendezvous" float.

We finally know where to look for life on Mars
Ever since the discovery of methane on Mars, scientists have wondered if the Red Planet might harbor life. Now, researchers know where to look: deep under the surface of a broad Martian plain.

Calderas Across Two Worlds
One of the most common features found at large volcanoes are calderas, formed by the collapse of the land due to eruption. The scale of these features varies a lot depending on if you're on Earth or Mars.
