Dear Science Deniers, (Anti-vaxers, anti-maskers, climate hoaxers, flat-Earthers, etc) You found one another & communicate via stupefyingly advanced technologies that pivot on the discoveries of scientists. Just thought I’d remind you of that fact. Sincerely, Your Smart Phone

Look at the interesting rocks and hills I’ve seen while climbing Mount Sharp. It’s winter here, so skies aren't as dusty and I get a clear view down to Gale Crater's floor. The changing landscape may give insight into how this ancient lake dried up. https://t.co/a3FA66Wloj https://t.co/GZispjMm3l

Things are changing for @MarsCuriosity rover as it climbs Mount Sharp. The rover is switching from a region of enriched clay minerals to one of salty minerals called sulfates. Layers from this spot may tell us more about Gale Crater's ancient environment. https://t.co/IlpDMiIx8T https://t.co/IgsliDVDzZ

Welcome, Cygnus! Glad to have you on board. Thanks to you we not only have lots more science we can do up here, but we also had a pizza night on Saturday! https://t.co/iQvaA8blEz

#OTD in 1877, astronomer Asaph Hall discovered Mars' moon Phobos — just six days after discovering another Martian moon, Deimos! Phobos is the larger of the two moons and has a remarkably fast orbit. It revolves around Mars three times over the course of one Martian day! https://t.co/I0j5mlSOHs

#OTD in 1970, the Soviet Union launched Venera 7. That December, it became the first spacecraft to soft land on the surface of Venus and transmit data after landing on another planet. https://t.co/jC5WqQiEVw https://t.co/L4LCDOJcdV
