Some of the coolest pictures from this month will blow your mind. 🤯 👾: Life finds a way. The Mars Perseverance rover has found a rock nicknamed “Cheyava Falls” that might give us our best clue yet about past life on the Red Planet. This rock has tiny black-and-white spots that no one has ever seen on Mars before. These spots formed through chemical reactions known to fuel life. On Earth, these spots are often associated with microbes. 📸: NASA / JPL-Caltech / MSSS 🌔: We are going. NASA’s Orion spacecraft is getting prepped for its next mission. Here’s a shot of it being lifted by a crane during tests at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 📸: NASA / Radislav Sinyak Check out the full list from this month's issue of "The coolest new space pictures: July 2024:" https://lnkd.in/gvuWwStj
