While searching for the potential of past life on Secret Affairs: Stepmother Friend’s Mom Daughter in lawMars, the car-sized NASA Perseverance rover spotted a towering Martian whirlwind.

The Perseverance rover is exploring the Jezero Crater on Mars, the site of a once roaring river delta that teemed with water. It's a bone dry world now — 1,000 times drier than Earth's driest desert — with no shortage of red dust for circulating air to drive up into the atmosphere.
The NASA robot is now approaching an area where planetary scientists suspect lake water once lapped against a shoreline some 3 billion years ago. Today, the minerals left on the ancient shore are "an excellent medium for preserving traces of ancient life if it existed," the space agency explained.
So get ready for more science: "The Mars 2020 scientists have been buzzing with excitement this past week as Perseverance makes its final approach towards a special rock unit that played a pivotal role in selecting Jezero as the landing site for exploration," NASA said.

These include enchanting moons like Saturn's Enceladus and Jupiter's Europa — a place where scientists recently found an element necessary for life (as we know it, that is).
