Earth planning date: Friday, July 28, 2023: Our Thursday drive on sol 3901 was successful and put us ~30 meters further from Bradbury Landing! That's a pretty typical-length drive for us, with the longest I've seen in my 3 years on this mission being ~100 meters or so. We've had a good luck streak recently - being able to get arm, remote sensing, and drives in all week! The only tight constraint

NASA's distant Voyager 2 probe has sent a "heartbeat" signal to Earth after mission control mistakenly cut contact, the US space agency said Tuesday.
Launched in 1977 to explore the outer planets and serve as a beacon of humanity to the wider universe, it is currently more than 12.3 billion miles (19.9 billion kilometers) from our planet - well beyond the solar system.

A comprehensive research endeavor led by Heidelberg University and the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences Potsdam has shed new light on the causes of abrupt climate changes in ice ages. The study suggests that variations in summer insolation, or the amount of sunlight received, played a vital role in steering the shift between warm and cold phases during past ice ages.
