Spotting Mars at opposition is easier than you might think because the planet will stand out due to its color and radiance. Instead of appearing a whitish yellow shade like the stars, it will be a ...
The idea of transforming Mars into a world more hospitable to human habitation is a regular feature of science fiction. Scientists are now proposing a new approach to warm up Earth's planetary ...
With destructive, combative Mars ending an 11-week retrograde this February 23, there’s at least a slight chance that some of the chaos of the past couple months will start to dissipate.
Current research suggests that Mars is in a warm interglacial period which has lasted more than 100,000 years. [134] Because the Mars Global Surveyor was able to observe Mars for 4 Martian years, it was found that Martian weather was similar from year to year. Any differences were directly related to changes in the solar energy that reached Mars.
It was eventually picked up and used by the press. [8] Other neologisms include tosol (for today on Mars), as well as one of three Mars versions of tomorrow: nextersol, morrowsol, or solmorrow. [9] NASA planners coined the term soliday at least as far back as 2012 to refer to days off due to time phasing or the syncing of planetary schedules. [10]
Seasonal flows on warm Martian slopes (also called recurring slope lineae, recurrent slope lineae and RSL) [3] [4] [5] are thought to be salty water flows occurring during the warmest months on Mars. Indeed, there is much photographic and spectroscopic evidence that water does today flow on parts of Mars.
