Never read the comments.

Some 110 million years ago, this armored plant-eater lumbered through what is now western Canada, until a flooded river swept it into open sea. The dinosaur’s undersea burial preserved its armor in exquisite detail. Its skull still bears tile-like plates and a gray patina of fossilized skins.
NASA’s Curiosity rover has detected background levels of methane in the atmosphere of Mars, and these concentrations seem to go up in the summer and down in the winter, according to new research. Where the methane is coming from is still a mystery, but scientists have some ideas, including that microbes may be the source of the gas.
This seasonal cycle repeated through time and could come from an underground reservoir of methane, the study says. Whether that reservoir is a sign that there is or was life on Mars, however, is impossible to say for now.

twitter video doesn't work for me
it does sometimes when embedded in other websites, but never on twitter
(my old version of chrome could be to blame, but every other online video works)

Still works for me.
But are you saying that the video isn't playing, or that you cannot even get that link to work? Because even the frame that is shown as a preview of the video is pretty awesome.
A self-portrait by NASA’s Curiosity rover taken on Sol 2082 (June 15, 2018). A Martian dust storm has reduced sunlight and visibility at the rover’s location in Gale Crater. A drill hole can be seen in the rock to the left of the rover at a target site called “Duluth.”

uhm... the low gravity makes it easy maybe?

A dust storm hit just as Curiosity was drilling into that rock? what was inside? what are the martians trying to cover up with that "dust storm"?![]()
