James Brady+FollowMars Time Is Literally Faster Than Earth!Did you know time actually ticks faster on Mars? Scientists just figured out that a clock on Mars runs 477 microseconds faster per day than on Earth, and the difference can swing even more depending on where Mars is in its orbit. It’s all thanks to the wild gravitational tug-of-war between Mars, the Sun, Earth, and even our Moon. The catch? If you ever move to Mars, you’ll age a whole nine seconds more every 50 years. Not quite Interstellar, but still kinda trippy! #Science #Mars #SpaceFacts90Share
Michelle York+FollowMars Just Got Hit by a Solar Storm—Yikes!Mars just took a direct hit from the most intense solar storm scientists have ever recorded there. The whole planet lit up with wild auroras, but the real drama? Radiation levels spiked so high, any future astronauts would be in serious danger without major protection. Rovers and orbiters caught it all, showing just how unprepared we are for living on Mars. Turns out, space weather isn’t just pretty lights—it’s a real threat to our Mars dreams! #Science #Mars #SolarStorm20Share
Jerry Clark+FollowMars Has Lightning? NASA Rover Hears Zaps!Coffee break fun fact: NASA’s Perseverance rover just picked up the sound of crackling mini-lightning on Mars! Scientists caught these static zaps during Martian dust storms—think of it as the universe’s own ASMR. The big takeaway? If we ever send gadgets (or people!) to Mars, they’ll need to be ready for some serious static shocks. Who knew Mars was so electrifying? #Business #Industry #Mars10Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowMars Caves Could Hide Ancient LifeMars might be hiding its best secrets underground! Scientists just found massive caves in the Hebrus Valles region that were carved by ancient water—think Earth’s limestone caves, but on Mars. These caves could be the perfect spot to find signs of past life, since they’re protected from Mars’ harsh surface. Future missions might even send robots to explore these hidden worlds. Imagine what could be waiting down there! #Science #Mars #SpaceExploration20Share
