Soft rock, tough puzzles. @MarsCuriosity has a drilled a piece of bedrock and obtained a sample for analysis at a site that could be rich in clay minerals. It may help Mars explorers fill in gaps in the story of the long-lost lakes of Gale Crater. More: https://t.co/DUVgfJpsjD https://t.co/Nwx4jAtwEN

Scientists on our LADEE mission have discovered that micrometeoroids hit the #Moon and release water vapor trapped below the surface. This new discovery about the Moons resources can help in our sustainable exploration of the Moon. https://t.co/ijwGRy1DnI https://t.co/2Iwiyx2HFN

Mercury gets a lot of heat, but not a whole lot of love until now. New results from @NASAGoddard reveal Mercurys inner core is solid and nearly the same size as Earths. Comparing the cores of rocky planets may give us clues to how these planets evolve. https://t.co/OFmM6Iamtx https://t.co/Uf1stC6t9s
