Iconic British singer David Bowie and his band the Spiders from Mars have been immortalized in rock music culture since the early 1970s. Now, the European Space Agency’s Mars Express spacecraft has captured images of surface structures on the red planet that bear a striking resemblance to spiders.

The Supreme Court appears to be poised to weigh in on former President Donald Trump’s federal election subversion case, with key points emerging from the recent proceedings.
