NASA's Perserverance Studies the Wild Winds of Jezero Crater - NASA

If you've been following Panzer here for a while, you know he loves things space-oriented and especially Mars-oriented.

Wind on Mars?

So, it's no surprise he made a stop at the NASA site when he heard about the Mars Rover Perserverance's new video showing dust devils there.

 

There's a post there to go with the very short video.

 

If you look on the right side of the post, you'll find another video Perserverance made of a dust cloud on Mars, too.

NASA names Perseverance rover landing site on Mars after Seattle sci-fi pioneer Octavia E. Butler - GeekWire

On today's trip into the Catosphere Panzer made a quick stop at the GeekWire site. There our efficient kitty pilot found a post about the Perseverance Martian rover.

It's warm and sunny there.

According to the post by Alan Boyle, NASA has named the Perseverance Martian landing site after science fiction author Octavia E. Butler. The site's name now is Octavia E. Butler Landing. The post also lists other sites NASA has named after authors.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... If I start writing science fiction, would they name a landing site after me?"
