Curiosity used its Right Navigation Camera, and you can see the high, wispy clouds that are characteristic of the sky above Gale Crater at this time of year.<\/div>\n<div class=\"hds-credits\">NASA\/JPL-Caltech<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Written by Alex Innanen, Atmospheric Scientist at York University<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earth planning date: Friday, Oct. 9, 2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Happy New Mars Year! We mark the start of a new year on Mars at the beginning of the northern hemisphere spring, or the vernal equinox. We then keep track of the seasons by counting degrees of solar longitude \u2014 each season is 90 degrees as Mars completes the whole 360 degrees of its orbit. The start of Mars year 39 at a solar longitude of 0 degrees (or L<sub>s<\/sub>=0\u00b0, pronounced \u201cell-sub-ess-zero\u201d if you want to sound like a Martian) came at the end of September on Earth. The new year also means it\u2019s now autumn in Gale Crater, just south of the equator.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Michelle <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/blog\/curiosity-blog-sols-5029-5035-back-in-the-lab\/\" rel=\"noopener\">talked about last week<\/a>, we rang in the Martian new year with our drill campaign at \u201cBasque Lakes.\u201d This week was dedicated to wrapping up drill activities before we drive away on the weekend. After the team got a chance to see the results of last week\u2019s lab activities, the SAM team decided on an <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/blog\/sols-4229-4231-more-analyses-of-the-mammoth-lakes-2-sample\/\" rel=\"noopener\">additional GCMS (Gas Chromatograph\/Mass Spectrometry) experiment<\/a>. While GCMS tends to be an energy-intensive activity, we had four whole sols in Monday\u2019s plan to play with, so we still had room for a slew of remote-sensing activities from Mastcam and ChemCam and contact science of the drill tailings \u2014 the bits of rock and minerals that are left over from our drill sample. This weekend\u2019s plan gives us a couple more sols to wrap up drill activities at Basque Lakes and collect any last contact- or remote-science targets we want here before we begin a drive back toward the neat crystal forms we <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/blog\/curiosity-blog-sols-5016-5021-fantastic-minerals-and-how-to-detect-them\/\" rel=\"noopener\">saw in the \u201cChiu Chiu\u201d region<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While all this is happening, the atmosphere around us continues to go through its seasonal changes. Autumn means the return of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpl.nasa.gov\/images\/pia26519-curiosity-views-twilight-clouds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">high-altitude twilight clouds<\/a>, which the low sun angle at sunset illuminates beautifully. While twilight cloud activity will pick up as the autumn progresses, our late afternoon cloud movies on Wednesday of this week already caught our first high-altitude clouds of the season, as you can see at the top of this post. Most of the clouds we tend to see at Gale Crater are suboptical, or too thin to be seen with either human eyes or with Curiosity\u2019s robotic \u201ceyes,\u201d but these twilight clouds are bright enough that we can see them in the raw Navcam images. I\u2019m looking forward to another Martian autumn of watching all these different clouds go by.<\/p>\n<div class=\"hds-module alignwide wp-block-nasa-blocks-listicle\">\n<div class=\"hds-listicle
