Philip and I had lots of fun chatting about @LunarLeaper, our little robot aiming to explore lunar lava caves. Thanks @BBC for coming by!! 🌜🚀🇨🇭

Watch the BBC video about ETH's Spacehopper. Spencer Kelly visited us in Zurich and wanted to know everything about the #SpaceMission that the little three-legged friend will be going on. 🤖 brnw.ch/21wM6G8

@AnnaPlanetMars and I led a team to propose a low-cost way to explore lunar lava tubes with @leggedrobotics:
LunarLeaper will use all advantages of legged robotics to approach a potential skyhole in Marius Hills.

#phd#jobalert@AnnaPlanetMars is looking for a doctoral student to investigate the origin of lunar crustal magnetisation as part of her @snsf_ch research project “Using magnetic fields to explore terrestrial bodies in our Solar System”.
Magnificent! jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/8298
At @ETH_en today, celebrating the successful @NASAInSight mission and especially the great team of students, engineers, & staff led by Prof. Giardini who were key contributors. This mission has led to 100 publications by this team and has reshaped how we think about Mars. 🟠🛜
#phd#jobalert@AnnaPlanetMars is looking for a doctoral student to study planetary magnetism. This research is part of her SNSF Ambizione project “Using magnetic fields to explore terrestrial bodies in our Solar System” which she will take on here at ETH Zurich. Apply now!
I am looking for a PhD student interested in planetary magnetic fields, especially the Martian one, starting on September 1, 2023 at ETH in Zurich. Check out this link and feel free to distribute this / apply.
Mars' External Magnetic Field as Seen From the Surface With InSighthttps://doi.org/10.1029/2022JE007616 Time variations in the surface magnetic field are primarily driven by the ionosphere. They are also affected by atmospheric seasonal variations.
InSight has been the first magnetic observatory on Mars! We summarize magnetic field observations of external fields with timescales of minutes up to a year. Check out the paper published in #JGRPlanets#JGRlnkd.in/es-AKZE6
Mars' Cerberus Fossae fault region is the source of half of the whole planet's seismic moment, indicating that it is still actively opening and that there is a warm source at ~40 km depth below it. @exoseismologist, @AnnaPlanetMars, et al.: nature.com/articles/s41550-0…
Many congratulations to
@AnnaPlanetMars on receiving a SNSF Ambizione grant for her #geophysics project "Using Magnetic Fields to Explore Terrestrial Bodies in our Solar System".
#Ambizione: the SNSF has awarded 67.6 million francs to 83 early-career researchers. They will receive an average of 815,000 francs to run their first independent research project at a higher education institution in Switzerland. #SNSF_Researchsohub.io/udfq
Bloops on Mars
@NASAInSight detected not one – but four – meteoroid impacts on the Red Planet. Not only are the sounds of interest to scientists, but impact craters provide clues into Mars’ past and interior structure. Learn more in the video below.
