Martian Crater Rim
This image was taken by the HiRISE camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter in the middle of winter in Mars' Southern Hemisphere and shows a crater near 37 degrees south latitude. The south-facing slope has patchy bright frost, blue in enhanced color. This frost occurs in and around the many gullies on the slope and in other images, has caused flows in the gullies.

Icelandic Eruption
Fagradalsfjall eruption in Iceland in 2021. Strong seismic activity was recorded in the region beginning in late February 2021, which was interpreted as the intrusion of magma at a shallow depth. The volcano began to erupt on 19 March 2021. While there has been a increase in seismic activity over the last few months, the latest magma intrusion is unlikely to reach to surface.

Scientists are getting closer in their search for life beyond earth. But with limited federal funding for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, supporters are the reason cutting-edge scientists can keep their eyes on the sky.
