HiPOD: A Song of Ice and More Ice
This stunning image shows part of the South Polar residual ice cap, a term that refers to ice that lingers well past a seasonal change. Our science goal here is to look for any changes in the ice cap.

This photo from the Perseverance rover captured in early March, may be my favorite Mars image from this year.
It shows Mars' smaller moon Deimos over the hills of the Nili Planum region in the dark skies before dawn. 🔭

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!
survey.gendercensus.com
It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.
