NASA's Curiosity Rover Gets Its Drill Stuck, Recordings From the Arctic Seafloor and More Science Stories

NASA’s Curiosity rover hit a rare drilling snag on Mars when a rock stuck to its drill sleeve, but the team freed it and sampling resumed.

The incident shows how rover hardware can still face unexpected problems during Martian fieldwork.

In a separate study, scientists captured new camera and hydrophone footage from Greenland’s Inglefield Bredning fjord, revealing seafloor life, marine snow, ice, boat noise, and narwhals.

The PLOS One findings add direct observations of a little-studied Arctic ecosystem and may improve future ocean research methods.
