Red Planet and Voyager 1's Pale Blue Dot steal the spotlight in NYC rock showThe multi-faceted band's new tune " Try Not to Die " played a few songs into the set, poetically employing Carl Sagan's famous quote about Voyager 1 's " Pale Blue Dot " portrait of Earth as a tiny speck in space and with Frasco's thoughts on the stagnation of humankind:

Daily Express US on MSNMars was 'perfect for life' claim experts as breakthrough discovery made on Red PlanetChina's Zhurong rover has collected data that suggests that Mars may have had oceans and beaches millions of years ago.
The fundamental question of why Mars is red has been considered for hundreds if not for thousands of years,” Adam Valantinas, a postdoctoral fellow at Brown University, declared.
These studies show that Mars is bombarded by meteorites far more often than previously thought — about 2.5 times more frequently. It also shows that seismic waves from these impacts can travel faster and deeper through the planet than expected, following what researchers call a “seismic highway” through Mars’ crust and mantle.
Mars in March 2025 offers sky enthusiasts prime viewing opportunities, with key dates including March 1, March 9, mid-March, and March 31. Observers can expect optimal conditions for spotting the Red Planet at its brightest and observing its major features with a telescope.
A new study claims that a mineral found in Mars' dust called ferrihydrite, which forms in the presence of cool water, is likely what gives the planet its reddish hue.
Scientists have a new theory on why Mars is red, and it may mean that water was more widespread on the planet than previously thought. The new theory has turned a previously-held theory about where Mars got its coloring upside down and changed what scientists know about the planet.
Humans are determined to discover more details about Mars, Earth's neighboring planet, which seems to hide many secrets. So far, only a few have come to light since NASA's Curiosit
A study suggests Mars takes its red hue from a type of mineral that forms in cool water, which could reveal insights about whether Mars was ever able to support life.

ExtremeTech on MSNScientists Figure Out How the Red Planet Earned Its NameScientists once believed our planetary next-door neighbor got its rusty hue from hematite, a common iron ore known for its reddish-brown color. But new research suggests that another mineral is behind Mars' most recognizable characteristic.
The Red Planet, as it’s often called, has a distinct hue, and a new theory about this coloration could have implications for our understanding of Mars' evolution.
Ferrihydrite, a water-rich iron mineral, plays an important role in giving the red planet its signature hue, according to the study.
