ALT A very close-up shot taken by NASA's Perseverance Mars rover overlooking its workspace where it collected a rock sample. This close up shot shows an array of white, brown, and black colors on this unique rock. A red circle is drawn around one piece of the rock in particular that looks to be a darker brown color near the top right of the image. It is labeled, "Olivine." Below and toward the center of the image is another area of the rock that is labeled, "Leopard Spot."
ALT A close-up photo taken by the Curiosity rover shows pure yellow sulfur crystals within a rock the robot drove over. Surrounding the yellow crystals is sandy and rust-colored Martian rock. Along the crack in the center are dull yellow crystalline pieces of elemental sulfur.
ALT An infographic is shown highlighting the various milestones of the 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter. The background is a swatch of light red blending into light blue with an illustration of the orbiter in the center. To the left the graphic shows 23 years in orbit, 17.1 terabits of data returned, 1.33 terabits of data relayed from Mars surface missions, and science.nasa.gov/mission/odyssey as a link. To the right it shows 100,000 orbits, 1.4 million images taken, relay support for 6 Mars missions, and states this was updated in June 2024.
