When you go to Mars, you will need a map. And not just any map, but the best map a rover could possibly need. 🗺️ European scientists have pieced together the most detailed geologic map of Oxia Planum – the landing site for @esa's Rosalind Franklin rover on the Red Planet. 🔗

Just wrapped up a successful field campaign in #lceland for our @europlanetmedia
@Astrobiologyo work on geothermal aerosols, getting lots of samples for @angusaldis! It has been a pleasure, lceland never ceases to amaze!

Got some spare time this weekend and fancy investigating diversity across the solar system? Then this is the hackathon for you. #womenInSTEM #diversityInSTEM @in_stemm @500womensci @IAU_org @OU_STEM
If you are interested in increasing representation in planetary naming, join the Planetary Nomenclature Hackathon, Oct 22-23 - email STEM-SPS-OUTREACH@open.ac.uk.

I have written an open letter to the IAU highlighting the ways in which naming conventions for planetary features have contributed to a lack of diversity in space. To read the letter and sign your support visit: https://t.co/BzLiVhso2K
