EVSN - Martian Volcanoes Once Chose Violence

from The 365 Days of Astronomy

From April 28, 2022. An analysis of images taken by the Spirit rover of olivine-rich rocks in Gusev crater has revealed a much more violent volcanic origin than originally thought and one that likely occurred early in Mars's history. Plus, balloon science, more Mars, more volcanoes, pretty Hubble images, and What's Up (a supernova!).   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
