The Mars time of noon is 12:00 which is in Earth time 12 hours and 20 minutes after midnight. For the Mars Pathfinder, Mars Exploration Rover (MER), Phoenix, and Mars Science Laboratory missions, the operations teams have worked on "Mars time", with a work schedule synchronized to the local time at the landing site on Mars, rather than the ...

The phase of the Moon as seen from Mars would not change much from day to day; it would match the phase of the Earth, and would only gradually change as both Earth and Moon move in their orbits around the Sun. On the ...
The good news is, you don’t have to have a telescope to enjoy Mars at opposition! Just look up into the sky after sunset, and Mars will be there. It will be hard to miss!

A Martian day lasts about 40 minutes longer than a day on Earth. The increased acceleration seems incredibly small, and researchers aren’t quite sure what is causing it.
Each panel consists of three primary mirror segments and had to be folded to allow the space telescope to be installed in the fairing of the Ariane rocket for the launch of the telescope. On 7 January 2022, NASA deployed and locked in place the port-side wing, [207] and on 8 January, the starboard-side mirror wing. This successfully completed ...
NASA on Tuesday will share the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope. The telescope, developed by NASA alongside the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency, is the largest ...
