Six planets will be in alignment during the planet parade: Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus, and Saturn. Uranus and Neptune won't appear as "bright planets," so you'll need a telescope or ...
For instance, the Mars Express images are at a resolution of 14 m/pixel (46 ft/pixel) or better. By combining data from the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on the Mars Express probe and the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) on board NASA's Mars Global Surveyor it has been possible to create a three-dimensional representation of the "Face on Mars ...

The MDRS station is situated on the San Rafael Swell of Southern Utah, [4] 11.63 kilometres (7.23 mi) by road northwest of Hanksville, Utah. [5] It is the second such analogue research station to be built by the Mars Society, following the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station or FMARS [6] on Devon Island in Canada's high Arctic.
The shower will peak under a nearly full moon, which could make spotting the cosmic show a challenge. The light from the moon will wash out the fainter meteors during the peak, according to NASA.
Mars has two permanent polar ice caps, the northern one located at Planum Boreum and the southern one at Planum Australe. The difference between Mars's highest and lowest points is nearly 30 km (from the top of Olympus Mons at an altitude of 21.2 km to Badwater Crater [1] at the bottom of the Hellas impact basin at an altitude of 8.2 km below ...
Mars and Jupiter are cozying up in the night sky for their closest rendezvous this decade. In reality, our solar system’s biggest planet and its dimmer, reddish neighbor will be more than 350 ...
