Rosalind Franklin Rover Snow Globe

Scientists might have found evidence of water on Mars… but snow? Inside this hand-painted snow globe, you’ll find the Roslind Franklin rover atop the rocky Martian surface.

Named by the European Space Agency in honour of the British chemist, the rover is due to touchdown on the red planet in 2030 as part of the ExoMars programme.

Once it lands, it will roam the surface covering up to 100 metres per Martian day, drill down to collect samples and then analyse them in its onboard lab. The hope is that any well-preserved organic material discovered might help us understand Mars’s early history and whether life ever existed there.
