⏳ Keeping track of Mars time can be tricky! NASA and other space agencies use a special time system to sync with Martian days and years. Over time, our rovers and landers on Mars have gotten really good at living by a Martian clock. ⏰ #MarsMission #MarsNewYear

Happy New Martian Year! 🎉 Today (Tosol !) , Mars completes another orbit around the Sun, marking the start of a new year on the Red Planet, 38 since Earthlings began counting. It takes 687 Earth days for Mars to make one orbit—nearly twice as long as a year on Earth! #MarsNewYear #MarsTime
