A NASA rover sent home an immersive Mars panorama. Watch the video.
Mashable
Those aren't mountains in the background.

At first glance, this view may look like a vista from a bluff in the southwestern United States.But those aren't ordinary mountains in the distance. What appears to be a sierra is in fact the rim of an enormous crater on Mars, formed when an asteroid slammed into the Red Planet billions of years ago. The vantage point is from the slopes of the three-mile-tall Mount Sharp, sculpted over time within the crater after the ancient collision. NASA's Curiosity rover captured this extremely wide snapshot as it traversed its extraterrestrial stomping grounds in Gale Crater this February. The agency has since converted that data into a 30-second immersive video, which you can watch further down in this story.

It's perhaps the next best thing to actually hiking the chilly desert roughly 140 million miles away in space."You can imagine the quiet, thin wind," said NASA in a post on X, "or maybe even the waves of a long-gone lake lapping an ancient shore." SEE ALSO:

Since its mission launched in 2011, Curiosity, a Mini Cooper-sized lab on six wheels, has traveled about 352,000,020 miles: some 352 million whizzing through space and another 20 rumbling over Martian terrain. At the time when Curiosity drank up this scenery, it was climbing a region of Mount Sharp known as the sulfate-bearing unit. This area is chock full of salty minerals. Scientists think streams and ponds left them behind as the water dried up billions of years ago. Studying this geology offers clues about how and why Mars may have transformed from a more Earth-like world to the frozen desert it is today. Almost exactly a year ago, the rover accidentally discovered elemental sulfur, its wheels crushing the material to expose a bed of yellow crystals. When pure sulfur is made naturally on Earth, it's usually associated with superheated volcanic gases and hot springs. Another way it can form is through interactions with bacteria — a.k.a. life."We don't think we're anywhere near a volcano where the rover is," Abigail Fraeman, deputy project scientist on the Curiosity mission, told Mashable in September, "so that is a puzzling feature to find in this particular location." 

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

A 30-second video in the above X post showcases the vast Martian panorama. Now Curiosity is on its way to a new destination where it will study an unusual landscape, called a "boxwork." This region likely necessitated warm groundwater to form. And where there's water, there's potential for life — at least the kind scientists know about. Researchers wonder if the boxwork could have hosted ancient single-celled microorganisms.From Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter images, the land feature looks like a spiderweb of ridges, spanning several miles. Dark sand fills the hollow spaces among the lattice. Scientists believe this particular boxwork may have formed when minerals in the last trickles of water seeped into surface rock and hardened. As the rocks weathered over the ages, minerals that had cemented into those cracks remained, leaving behind the weird pattern. The rover's science team doesn't expect Curiosity to reach its destination until at least late fall, said Catherine O'Connell-Cooper, a planetary geologist at the University of New Brunswick in Canada, in the mission log. "Our drives are long right now," O'Connell-Cooper wrote, "but we are still taking the time to document all of the wonderful geology as we go, and not just speeding past all of the cool things!" let cbeScripts = {"twitterEmbed":["https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"]}; let cbeScriptObserver = function (nodeType, scriptsArr) { let firstElem = document.querySelector('.' + nodeType) let self = this

How to use Jules, Google’s new AI coding tool.

Google just rolled out a product that might make coding a lot easier.Google introduced Jules, its AI coding tool, in December in Google Labs. Today, Jules is available to everyone and everywhere the Gemini model is available, without a waitlist. SEE ALSO:

Here's everything AI coming to Google Gmail

"Just submit a task, and Jules takes care of the rest — fixing bugs, making updates. It integrates with GitHub and works on its own," Tulsee Doshi, the senior director and product lead for Gemini Models, said at Google I/O 2025. "Jules can tackle complex tasks in large codebases that used to take hours, like updating an older version of Node.js. It can plan the steps, modify files, and more in minutes."

Two House Republicans missed the big vote
POLITICO
Reps. Andrew Garbarino and David Schweikert were no-shows Thursday morning.

It was the biggest vote of the 119th Congress so far — and they missed it. GOP Reps. Andrew Garbarino of New York and David Schweikert of Arizona were both recorded as not voting on the Republican domestic policy megabill that passed the House early Thursday morning. Both were surprising: They had each played key roles in the legislation — Garbarino as a moderate advocate for clean-energy tax credits and raising the cap on the state-and-local-tax deduction, and Schweikert as a senior member of the Ways and Means Committee. A spokesperson for Garbarino initially said "briefly stepped out and inadvertently missed the vote." In a subsequent statement, Garbarino himself said “the vote was closed before I was able to cast my vote." Speaker Mike Johnson gave reporters a more succinct account: "He fell asleep in the back, no kidding." "I'm going to just strangle him," Johnson joked, "but he's my dear friend." Johnson said Schweikert, the Arizona lawmaker, arrived also late to the chamber and the vote gaveled closed before his vote could be counted. A Schweikert spokesperson said he'd just gotten to the floor as the vote closed. Garbarino said he was “proud of the work we accomplished to deliver huge results for Long Island" and that he "look[s] forward to voting 'yes' when it comes back to the House floor from the Senate.” Johnson said Schweikert, who was one of only a handful of Republicans to submit floor amendments to the bill, also intended to vote in favor. Nicholas Wu contributed to this report.
