A new paper based on exploration by the NASA's Curiosity Mars rover-and reviewed by an astronaut while she was on the International Space Station (ISS), in what may be a first for peer-reviewed science literature-describes how dramatically different geology on Mars works from that on Earth.
The paper is part of an ongoing attempt to understand the rock cycle on the Red Planet-that is, how

Within two weeks, the DART spacecraft will impact the asteroid moon Dimorphos as it completes the world's first planetary defense test mission. The success of the effort relies heavily on the Lowell Discovery Telescope, which scientists are using for both before- and after-impact observations.

Cosmic rays seem to surround us everywhere. This is precisely what makes it difficult to find its sources. It would be helpful if we could trace their path through space. A new programme can help.
