planet sun on April 12, 2021 10:29 pm i like the picture and the short take. plus thanks for saying false colored. i saw other pics of that claims to be the ground. the dirt doesn’t look red like some dirt here. so if ours is blue then what makes that one red? if the suns...
image in question was an authentic photo captured by a camera aboard the NASA Curiosity rover on May 7, 2022, the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory told Snopes that, what some social media users interpreted to be a "portal and a wall," was actually a rock crevice on the red planet. ...
LOS ANGELES, June 13 (Xinhua) -- NASA's Mars 2020 rover, its latest robotic mission to the Red Planet, will include technology to explore ancient life on Mars, according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory on Wednesday. The science goal of the Mars 2020 rover is to look for signs of a...
The currently unnamed rover is a robotic scientist weighing more than 1,000 kg. It will search for signs of past microbial life, characterize the planet's climate and geology, collect samples for future return to Earth and pave the way for human exploration of the planet, according to the J...

Well, the full answer requires a gruesome dive into magnetohydrodynamics, but the key difference is that in order to generate a magnetic field in a planet or star you need convection, and that obviously requires a fluid conductor, not a solid one. Rotation is also required, but is not enoug...
The ‘Marsien’ name is derived from the word ‘Martian', because it looks like it’s on the surface of the Red Planet when testing out in the Arab Emirates, and the spec is pretty out of this world too. All of the body panels are replaced with bespoke carbon fibre sections, the h...
NASA is slowly learning where to look for microbes on the Red Planet, but there are no answers yet By Carl Franzen Image NASA | Source NASA Mar 15, 2013, 12:00 AM GMT+8 Share this story 0 Comments0 New Jody Swann/Tammy Becker/Alfred McEwen, PICS (Planetary Image Cartography...
Designed to burrow as much as 5 meters underground to record the amount of heat escaping from the Red Planet's interior, the mole needs friction from surrounding soil in order to dig, said JPL. Without it, recoil from the self-hammering action causes it to simply bounce in place, which ...
Called the Surface Thermal Test, it involves subjecting the car-size Mars vehicle to atmospheric pressures and temperatures similar to those it will encounter on the Red Planet. JPL is building and will manage operations of the Mars 2020 rover for NASA. The rover is scheduled to launch on a...
