Folks, a huge number of people at JPL have been affected by the LA wildfires, with many losing their homes. If you can, consider contributing to a fund that's been set up to help them: (Link looks sketch but site is legit) caltech.imodules.com/controls/ema...

Solstice activities included baking a saffron cake to lure the sun back. It did still vanish at 16:40 this afternoon so we'll have to see if it indeed returns tomorrow...

Just in time for this Mars year's twilight cloud season, here's a new paper led by Mark Lemmon about cloud iridescence we've seen at Gale. If you read none of it, at least admire the pretty pictures. #planetaryscience agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Nice Mustache! This image covers Swiss cheese terrain, which is so named due to the circular pits formed by seasonally sublimating carbon dioxide ice. Sometimes the pits join or connect, forming other shapes. uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_08... NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona #Mars #science

Hubble Jupiter images in the UV suggest polar hazes are stirred by a vortex created by mag field interactions with the ionosphere and Jupiter's moon Io! A cool new UV view of this giant planet (image credit: T. Tsubota & M. Wong, UC Berkeley) See links in next comment for details . . .

Tried a garden experiment this year of planting saffron which did not grow for about two months after I planted it and then decided that mid-to-late november was the perfect time to produce blooms and now I have aproximately five (5) majestic threads of saffron

New paper on dust opacity measured over almost 5.5 Mars years (wow) from MSL, led by the wonderful (but not on bsky) Grace Bischof. The cool new finding is that with so much data, we can start to see day-to-day variability by season. Paper is open access. dx.doi.org/10.1029/2024... #planetaryscience
