Look closely 👀 These “leopard spots” on a Martian rock are clues pointing to possibly the best signs of ancient microbial life we’ve found yet on Mars. To know for sure, we need to study the rock in labs on Earth. More on @NASAPersevere's findings: https://t.co/Bo7eiUdGnA

Thank you, Ingenuity. You amazed us. You inspired us. You reminded us of what can happen when great minds and great determination are combined. Rest well. @NASAJPL @NASA #ThanksIngenuity
Flight 72. That’s the final flight for our Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter. Ingenuity and its team proved that powered, controlled flight on another world was possible. #ThanksIngenuity. You may rest, but your legacy will continue to soar: https://t.co/uEe2ZAw2ML

NASA is currently collecting samples on the surface of Mars to bring back to Earth. And what it finds could change the way we see space. Astrobiologist @bio_geo_chem explains what she’ll be looking for with @ossolalex on ‘The Future of Everything’. https://t.co/wd0xdSzFRS

When I recently dropped 10 lightsabers – I mean *sample tubes* – on Mars, I was laying the groundwork for a potentially thrilling sequel. Future droids may recover this special cache. Meanwhile, there’s more to do on this desert planet… #MayThe4thBeWithYou

Flying into the future. 🚁 @NASA's Ingenuity Mars helicopter has proven we can do the impossible – fly on Mars. But not only has the #MarsHelicopter made history with its nearly 50 flights, it's also influencing future exploration on the Red Planet.
