“To me, Mars is the uncanny valley of Earth,” said planetary geophysicist Kevin Lewis of Johns Hopkins University. “It’s similar but was shaped by different processes. It feels so unnatural to our terrestrial experience.”
In a 2019 paper in Science, NASA researchers detail how they repurposed sensors used to drive the Curiosity rover and turned them into gravimeters, which measure changes in gravitational pull. That enabled them to measure the subtle tug from rock layers on lower Mount Sharp, which rises 3 miles (5 kilometers) from the base of Gale Crater and which Curiosity has been climbing since 2014. The results? It turns out the density of those rock layers is much lower than expected.

Environmentally responsible agriculture “We continue to look for ways to deliver high quality coffee while reducing our impact on the environment,” said Kevin Lewis, global chief marketing officer of Alimentation Couche-Tard, in a press release. “In the US, over the past year, we’ve reduced case sizes and extended product shelf life, which will minimize the amount of coffee wasted. These steps, combined with the installation of bean-to-cup coffee machines across the US, have delivered a 30% reduction in total pounds of coffee wasted annually.” Circle K offers consistently fresh coffee through their bean-to-cup machines. The new sustainably sourced coffee blends will be available through these machines in both hot and iced forms. While the coffee beans will now be 100% sustainably sourced, the quality will continue to be the same java customers love, with no changes to the taste, aroma or roast profile.
