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.
Hace 4 días · NASA’s Perseverance rover discovered “leopard spots” on a reddish rock nicknamed “Cheyava Falls” in Mars’ Jezero Crater in July 2024. Scientists think the spots may indicate that, billions of years ago, the chemical reactions in this rock could have supported microbial life; other explanations are being considered.

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.
Marte tiene la mitad del tamaño de la Tierra. A veces es llamado el planeta rojo. Es rojo debido al hierro oxidado de su suelo. Al igual que la Tierra, Marte tiene estaciones del año, casquetes polares, volcanes, cañones y tiempo meteorológico.
Hace 3 días · NASA’s Perseverance Rover captured this image on July 18 of a rock 3 feet by 2 feet and nicknamed “Cheyava Falls” on Mars. NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS. Kenneth Chang has reported on the ...
Hace 4 días · Mars is the fourth planet in the solar system in order of distance from the Sun and the seventh in size and mass. It is a periodically conspicuous reddish object in the night sky. There are intriguing clues that billions of years ago Mars was even more Earth-like than today.
