Curiosity has found the largest field of honeycomb fractures it has ever encountered on Mars. Similar polygons elsewhere preserve mud repeatedly soaked and dried 3.8 billion years ago—but NASA says this new “sea of polygons” could also have been created by temperature swings, compression or mineral changes.
From orbit, the ground ahead of Curiosity looked light-toned and fairly smooth. When the rover drove onto it…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope detected water molecules and freshly produced silicate dust around a dying star seen just 0.55 light-years in projection from the Milky Way’s central black hole—showing that surprisingly fragile material can form and survive within the Galaxy’s radiation-drenched central environment.
The James Webb Space Telescope did not photograph water droplets or watch rocky grains condense beside the Milky…
