Explore Jupiter's icy moon, Europa, in incredible detail like never before! Many investigations indicate that it contains key ingredients for habitability, establishing the global context of Europan geologic units a crucial motivation for this product.

Similar processes make similar landforms, even in very different places. In these radar images, liquid (water on Earth, methane on Titan) looks dark, and land (rock on Earth, ice on Titan) looks bright. Which is which? Top: Earth (left Norway, right Congo), bottom: Titan

We think of Earth as having all the water, but the outer solar system has us beat! Check out this free downloadable poster from the PLANETS project: #STEM #STEAM

Hey #Teachers! Looking for a fun, easy way to teach about the #Mars2020 Perseverance rover? Check out this #GeologicMap coloring sheet activity! Students color their own geologic map and learn about the geology of #Mars!

Did you know that despite being the Astrogeology Science Center, a lot of our research happens right here on Earth? Join scientist Greg Vaughan and student, Jess Condon, as they explore whether Yellowstone thermal areas are heating up! 😲 @usgsvolcanoes

#OnThisDay in 1971 #Apollo 14 launched to the Fra Mauro formation on the Moon. Module Pilot Edgar "Ed" Mitchell reflected later in the mission his thoughts on community and society. Check out this full-size panorama on the Astropedia: #Moon #Lunar #History

Mars enthusiasts look no further for data needs! USGS Astrogeology has a trove of new Mars data, accessible in high-resolution and 3D to all! The data includes over 4,800 digital terrain models and 155,000 high-resolution images of the martian surface

Artemis astronauts will face unique challenges, and astronaut training is being developed to anticipate some of these challenges. In this article in @AGU_Eos, Astrogeology's Lauren Edgar joins other lunar experts in sharing astronaut training development:

#ThrowbackThursday to 1965: USGS Geologist David Schleicher is wearing a space suit that we're kind of glad didn't become the final design 🤭 This photo was taken during the dedication of the original Astrogeology Science Center building in 1965, which no longer stands. 🙃

Asteroids can impact anywhere on Earth and cause different problems depending on where they land. One way we can prepare for hazards is by using Earth analogs. Learn more about analogs that we use to investigate potential asteroid impact...impacts!

We often think of the Moon as a barren wasteland, but it actually hosts a variety of rock types with unique histories. Check out this Geologic History of the landing site of Apollo 17, the Taurus-Littrow valley: #Apollo17 #Apollo #Geology #Astronaut

Volcanic features near the Mars equator indicate the presence of shallow subsurface water at the time of lava flows but ice is unlikely. Research explores whether the water could be from a different climate on Mars, or was from a large flood. Find out:

#OnThisDay in 1994 the Clementine mission launched to the Moon. The Clementine mission provided a wealth of data and information on the lunar surface environment, available on the Astropedia: #Moon #LunarExploration #MoonToMars #Lunar #Clementine

Curiosity Blog just posted! We're enjoying the view atop Rustic Canyon and doing all the science! Check out the Curiosity Blog post to find out what the rover is up to on the Red Planet! #Curiosity #MarsExploration #Mars #RedPlanet #MSL

Happy Library #Shelfie Day! Our AstroLink is a diverse #library of historic maps, rock samples, spacecraft images, and documents from decades of space exploration! Holly and Sonya just had to share their #selfies with some of our favorite stores! #Selfie #LibraryShelfieDay #RPIF

Having access to #Data and #Software is important for making science transparent and reproducible. Our data can often be found on USGS's ScienceBase catalog, like this database of Gullies on Mars that were studied for activity: #OpenAccess #OpenScience

Hey @NAU Students! Come find Astrogeology at the Part-Time Job and Internship Fair! Planetary mapper Jim Skinner is pointing you in the right direction for a career that's OUT OF THIS WORLD! 😎🚀 January 24, 10:30 am - 2:30pm in the NAU Fieldhouse

#OnThisDay in 2006, the New Horizons spacecraft launched. Ten years later, the New Horizons team unveils Pluto in 3D! The DEM of Pluto was made using stereo-image mapping using the LORRI and MVIC instruments. Find out more and download the DEM:

🤔That's not quite what I remember the Lunar Module looking like... We created a pretty good simulated Lunar Roving Vehicle with Grover the Geologic Rover, but I think the final Lunar Module looked a bit different than the mockup we created! 😂
