In this white paper, we report on six Findings related to the benefit of Artemis Base Camp to lunar geoscience. Additionally, we consider certain issues and caveats meriting further study in any base camp architecture. usgs.gov/publications/i… #Artemis #Geology #STEM @USGS_Pubs
#OnThisDay in 1997, NASA's Mars Pathfinder mission landed in an ancient flood plain on the Red Planet and started its journey. The Sojourner rover also analyzed components of rock and soil, providing the possibility of investigating water-formed features. photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA091…
Happy 4th of July! The Perseverence rover raises our flag in celebration of Independence Day!
Rovers be rovin'! Astrogeology's Lauren Edgar writes this Curiosity blog about what the Mars rover has been up to and where it's heading - check out what's on the horizon for MSL! usgs.gov/centers/astrog…
We survived Asteroid Day! Flagstaffians celebrate "The Day After" today on the Flagstaff Science Campus at 2255 N Gemini Dr! We'll have demonstrations, posters, and researchers available from 12 - 2 pm to talk about asteroid impacts! #AsteroidDay #AsteroidImpacts #IYAPD
Newly released from Astrogeology, just in time for Asteroid Day! Check out this Fact Sheet for the count down to the close approach of Apophis in 2029 marking the International Year of Planetary Defense! pubs.usgs.gov/publication/fs… #IYAPD #AsteroidDay
Happy Asteroid Day! The United Nations observes Asteroid Day every year on June 30 to raise awareness of the risks of asteroid impacts, coordinating events worldwide to share knowledge. usgs.gov/centers/astrog… #AsteroidDay #AsteroidImpact
Asteroid Day is coming! Flagstaffians can celebrate "The Day After" on July 1 on the Flagstaff Science Campus at 2255 N Gemini Dr! We'll have demonstrations, posters, and researchers available from 12 - 2 pm to talk about asteroid impacts! #AsteroidDay #AsteroidImpacts #IYAPD
The USGS Astrogeology family had the utmost privilege of working with and learning from the legendary astronomer Carolyn S. Shoemaker, and we are not alone in coming together in the celebrations of her life and legacy. Carolyn was born on this day in 1929. usgs.gov/news/rememberi…
It's the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, but did you know Mars has seasonal activity too? This study, involving Astrogeology co-authors, highlights seasonal carbon dioxide ice movement in Mars polar caps. Read here: usgs.gov/publications/a…
Asteroid impacts aren't just a problem for other planets and moons, they can impact anywhere on #Earth and cause different problems depending on where they land. One way we can prepare for hazards is by using Earth analogs. Learn more about it here: ow.ly/FgT050NFv4s
While planetary science researchers have theorized that water might exist in a variety of settings on Mars, NASA’s InSight lander has provided new data that indicate large volumes of water beneath Mars’ crust. Learn more here: usgs.gov/centers/astrog…
#OnThisDay in 2009 the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter launched to the Moon, beginning a long campaign of imaging the lunar surface in incredible detail. LROC is still orbiting, returning data that will help us set foot back on the Moon during Artemis! #LROC #LRO #NASAMoon #Artemis
Happy #FlagDay! Here's Astrogeology's Jack Schmitt on the Moon with a flag! 😅 #MoonLanding #Apollo17 #Astronaut

How do we get information about other planets if we can't get there in person? One way is using Earth as an analog to other planets! Check out this manuscript, including Astro's Tim Titus, about sediment on Mars using knowledge from Earth! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
If you're visiting the Grand Canyon this summer, you're walking among giants! The Grand Canyon has been used during Apollo and Artemis programs for astronaut training! These incredible rocks are great for learning the fundamentals of geology and field methods! #Astronaut
Newly released from Astrogeology! Have questions about the #Apophis close approach in 2029? We've been doing a lot of research, and we have plenty of answers to share! Check out this quick Fact Sheet, with more work to come! pubs.usgs.gov/publication/fs… #IYAPD #PlanetaryDefense
Meet Dr. Kristen Bennett! 🌕 She helps choose where we land on the Moon and how the rover explores. Kristen will also study the surface to learn more about ancient lunar volcanoes! 🌋🌋@USGS_AstroGeo #LunarVISE #Space #UCF #Moon #MoonExploration
The Flagstaff USGS campus has 5 unique science centers that study everything from water, crop availability, Grand Canyon, mineral resources, to Mars. Last week, researchers gathered on campus to share what they've been working on amongst each other for the annual Poster Social.
