Since its deployment in 2012 to the surface of Mars, theCuriosityrover has sent back many breathtaking images of the Red Planet. In addition to snapping photos of the cometSiding SpringandEarth from the surface, not to mention some wonderfulpanoramic selfies, the rover has also taken countless ...
Michael Malin's quest began almost 30 years ago, when the spacecraft Mariner 9 snapped a few pictures of Mars's surface. The probe sent back photos of volcanoes, flood channels and craters--and some intriguing shots of mounds of layered rock in huge canyons. Nobody knew where those mounds...
Since it drove onto Mars, the rover has been traveling south and conducting detections. Its navigation camera has captured the images of the landform along the way. During its journey, the surface-search radar, meteorology monitor and magnetic field detector all work to conduct su...
The OMEGA imaging spectrometer on the Mars Express (MEX) spacecraft has been gathering data relevant to the mineralogy of the martian surface since January, 2004. OMEGA has a wavelength range of 0.35 to 5.1 碌m in 352 spectral bands and a spatial resolution between 0.3 and 4.8 km/pixel as...
"No Mars spacecraft has ever had this kind of view before." The Odyssey, which completed its 22nd year orbiting Mars last month, is expected to take similar pictures in the future to try and capture the Martian atmosphere in different seasons, NASA said. The Mars Report by NASA Jet ...
"I took out my abrasion tool again, for a look inside my next rock target," atweet from NASA, written (as per usual) in the voice of the rover, reads. "Mars is starkly beautiful on its surface, and even more interesting underneath." ...
The China National Space Administration made public on Friday four pictures taken by the Tianwen 1 robotic mission, showing the Zhurong rover on the Martian surface and scenes of its landing site. Three pictures were taken by Zhurong's cameras, and displayed the rover's upper stage, its landin...
Slated to land on Mars this month, the Perseverance rover will search for signs of past life and test new technologies for supporting future human missions.
Even better, the rover's various engineering cameras will send back 20-megapixel full-colour pictures of its surroundings (compared to 1 megapixel black-and-white from Curiosity). These will be, quite simply, the best images of the surface of Mars we have ever ...
The July new moon provides dark skies tonight to see Jupiter, Mars and more During this time, it appears as though you can see the entire disk of the moon dimly illuminated with an almost bluish-gray glow, along with the brightly lit crescent. As such, the term Earthshine is sometimes re...
