Atmospheric scientists get a little more excited with every rock core NASA's Perseverance Mars rover seals in its titanium sample tubes. They're are thrilled at the prospect of studying the "headspace," or air in the extra room around the rocky material, in the tubes. https://phys.org/news/2024-06-scientists-intrigued-air-nasa-mars.html
Atmospheric scientists get a little more excited with every rock core NASA's Perseverance Mars rover seals in its titanium sample tubes, which are being gathered for eventual delivery to Earth as part of the Mars Sample Return campaign. Twenty-four have been taken so far.
YES PLEASE!
I've been so excited waiting for dis cute boi to arrive..
