Mars is one of the easiest planets to spot in the night sky – it looks like a bright red point of light. Despite being inhospitable to humans, robotic explorers – like NASA's Perseverance rover – are serving as pathfinders to eventually get humans to the surface of the Red Planet.
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. The surface of Mars is orange-red because it is covered in iron(III) oxide dust, giving it the nickname "the Red Planet". Mars is among the brightest objects in Earth's sky, and its high-contrast albedo features have made it a common subject for telescope viewing.
Mars is one of the most explored bodies in our solar system, and it's the only planet where we've sent rovers to roam the alien landscape. NASA missions have found lots of evidence that Mars was much wetter and warmer, with a thicker atmosphere, billions of years ago.
Hace 4 días · Cuatro científicos pasaron casi 370 días viviendo en completo aislamiento, en medio de condiciones similares a las que podrían experimentar en el Planeta Rojo.
Hace 2 días · 5. By BRIAN P. D. HANNON. Updated 1:26 PM PDT, July 7, 2024. The crew of a NASA mission to Mars emerged from their craft after a yearlong voyage that never left Earth. The four volunteer crew members spent more than 12 months inside NASA’s first simulated Mars environment at Johnson Space Center in Houston, coming out of the artificial alien ...
Hace 6 días · A snaking scar on Mars. A fascinating feature takes centre stage in this new image from ESA’s Mars Express: a dark, uneven scar slicing through marbled ground at the foot of a giant volcano. This scar, known as Aganippe Fossa, is a patchy, roughly 600-km-long feature known as a ‘ graben ’: a ditch-like groove with steep walls on either side.
