'A dream come true': NASA scientist on Mars rover landing
Deputy project scientist for NASA’s Mars 2020 mission Ken Williford joins CNN’s Wolf Blitzer to share what “big unanswered questions” the Perseverance rover could answer.
On April 8th, millions across North America beheld the extraordinary spectacle of a rare total solar eclipse. The transformation of a vibrant sunny day into a grayscale panorama reminiscent of scenes from a dystopian narrative captivated observers, etching a mesmerising memory that will endure for years. Meanwhile, NASA treated the world to captivating images offering a celestial perspective of the solar eclipse from outer space. On Monday, astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) generously shared footage and images capturing the breathtaking total solar eclipse. The mesmerising video showcases the eclipse unfolding over the Earth's horizon, revealing a striking transformation where a portion of our planet appears engulfed in darkness during this celestial phenomenon.

While people across North America may have reacted in a range of surprising ways as they witnessed a total solar eclipse on Monday, humans were not the only.. Sky News
Mars, often dubbed the "red planet," has once again intrigued scientists with a new discovery. NASA's Perseverance rover, tirelessly exploring Mars' Jezero Crater since early 2021, has stumbled upon a peculiar sight: thousands of white rocks scattered across the crater's surface. Recent images transmitted by the rover reveal over 4,000 light-toned pebble-sized rocks strewn throughout the crater floor. "These rocks are highly unusual, and we're actively working to unravel their origins," remarked Candice Bedford, a planetary scientist at Purdue University and member of the Mars 2020 science team, speaking at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC) last month. Concurrently, NASA is wrapping up an architectural review of its Mars Sample Return (MSR) program, which aims to retrieve Martian rocks for detailed analysis back on Earth.
