This little known plugin reveals the answer. Following thePhoenixmission, a number of new missions are planned for Mars, expanding the scope of Mars research today. In 2011, an improved version of the Mars Exploration Rovers, called the Mars Science Laboratory, will set off for Mars. The MSL...
In the 1960s, humans set out to discover what the red planet has to teach us. Now, NASA is hoping to land the first humans on Mars by the 2030s.
What was it like when Venus and Mars both died? What was it like when planet Earth first formed? What was it like when the Sun was born? What was it like when dark energy rose to prominence? What was it like when the Milky Way grew up? What was it like when the cosmic ...
The interactive 3D map lets you pan, zoom, and tilt to explore the topography of Mars. You can see vivid features like craters, canyons, valleys, and even dried-up river channels. Bookmarks help you navigate to areas of interest across the Red Planet. You can find Olympus Mons (the talle...
It is now clear that "canals"—perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars—are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed. Another fragmented idea concerns the planet"s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known...
of the Titanic or 9/11 are examples, as are many of the “phantasms of the living” catalogued by the Society for Psychical Research in the 1880s. Thus it is not surprising that at least two prominent artists notably seem to have precognized the Face on Mars, the most famous “space...
The rover has seven instruments on board. One of which is theMars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer (MEDA), a weather station that will be in charge of monitoring the Martian atmosphere. This was developed by Centro de Astrobiología (CAB, CSIC-INTA) in Spain. ...
The data are 3D scans of 68 specimens from 41 species of Mesozoic theropods, then subjected to 3D geometric morphometrics shape analysis, to see what features related to giant body size or to other things (e.g., more “birdlike” traits). Each time theropods reached giant (>1000 kg) ...
“If there are gases coming out, theycould provide energy for a whole range of bacteria. A cave is also a protection from radiation;the surface of Mars is exposed to high levels of space radiation.The caves probably formed when tube-shaped lave flows(管状岩浆流) spread across theplanet ...
