We're more like sisters, and no, nothing yet. The team doesn't expect to hear from her until skies clear and power levels can rise, though they do check for signals daily. Here's the full update:

Yes, that is the "Duluth" drill hole. Read all about it:

Curious how I take and why you can't see my arm in the shot? Wonder no more. This video explains.

Martian haze, all around. The dust storm now circles the whole planet. The measure of atmospheric opacity, or "tau," is over 8.0 here in Gale Crater—the highest I've ever seen. Still safe. Science continues.

Forecast: Dusty with a chance of dust. I'm keeping an eye on this storm. It blocked out the sun over ' Opportunity (hang in there, sis!) and has begun to show up here in Gale Crater on the other side of the planet. I'm safe. Science continues:

Methane can be made by living things, as well as geologic processes. Organic materials in general can be building blocks of life, or a signature of life itself. I haven't found microbial life yet, but finding methane and other organics are good signs in the continuing search.

It has to do with whether the image is raw, which shows the sort of butterscotch hue of the sky or "white balanced," which makes the sky look blue. White balancing makes rocks appear as they would under Earth-like lighting conditions, and helps my geologists in their analysis.

The team and I are thrilled to be drilling again on Mars, but today's announcement of ancient organics came from a previous drill sites nicknamed "Mojave" and "Confidence Hills."

After the lakes disappeared, we believe groundwater lasted for a long time, but there is no evidence for water in the recent past.

The presence of a long-lived lake is good evidence that Mars had a thicker atmosphere in the past.

We know of no life outside of Earth. That's why we're so interested to see if it does or ever did exist on Mars. It's the big question: Are we alone?

It takes a meter or more of Martian soil before radiation from space no longer breaks apart organic molecules.

You do you. The team sometimes calls them "methane burps" or "methane swells."

You betcha! The biggest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons, is on Mars. It's currently dormant.

I'd be lucky to live so long! We'll be far from each other. That said, all of my findings and data inform future missions, included.
