Perseverance’s Martian Selfie and New Insights on Mars’ Dry Surface

NASA's Perseverance rover captures a stunning selfie with a Martian dust devil, marking its fifth major science campaign at Jezero Crater. Meanwhile, a groundbreaking study challenges previous assumptions about Martian slope streaks, revealing them to be dry formations rather than evidence of liquid water. Join us as we explore these developments and their implications for the search for life on Mars.
