20 Years After Landing: How NASA’s Twin Rovers Changed Mars Science

An illustration. An oval disk, which represents the Andromeda galaxy, is angled, pointing to the bottom left and top right, and takes up about one third of the view. Its core appears the brightest white and is surrounded by a thinner oval that is slightly less bright white and has a few brown lines running through it. Its edges have many small blue points representing stars. A few irregularly shaped lines representing globular cluster streams are present. A fainter blue arc is at top left. To its right is a larger, somewhat wider white line that is less than half the length of the galaxy. This straighter line has a gap, and then continues in a rough triangle. Near the bottom left of the galaxy’s blue star-filled region is another streamer that looks like an arc. It also has a gap, toward its right side. More irregular, fairly dim blue lines appear just below the right side of the galaxy. The background is black.

$In the far-left column are two galaxies that have been magnified. The top left galaxy appears circular and light pink with a slightly whiter central region, taking up less than one-sixth of the box. The bottom galaxy is elongated, stretching almost from top left to bottom right. It has a white line at the center that has a pink outline that transitions into and bluish edges at far left and right. Thin lines from each magnified galaxy point their appearances in the broader field. The top galaxy appears as a tiny dot at the upper center, and the bottom galaxy toward the left. Thousands of galaxies appear across most of this view, which is set against the black background of space. There are many overlapping objects at various distances. They include large, blue foreground stars, with Webb’s signature eight-pointed diffraction spikes, and white and pink spiral and elliptical galaxies. Numerous tiny red dots appear throughout the scene. This is a portion of a vast survey known in shorthand as CEERS.$

Michael Thorpe, a man with dark hair, poses with a tube of sediment collected from a nearby body of water. He wears a gray sweatshirt underneath dark green waders, or waterproof overalls, and kneels next to a brown lake with clumpy dirt banks in the foreground and background. Two more scientists in waders stand next to a small, flat white boat. The sky is bright blue and mostly covered with puffy clouds.
