Researchers have discovered that Mars’s rotation is speeding up. Here's what's happening.
Scientists are unsure what is causing subtle speeding up of Red Planet’s rotation – but they have some ideas Skip to main content. Sign in. Mail. 24/7 Help. For premium support please call ...
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 ...
Universal Time is a time scale based on the Earth's rotation, which is somewhat irregular over short periods (days up to a century), thus any time based on it cannot have an accuracy better than 1 in 10 8. However, a larger, more consistent effect has been observed over many centuries: Earth's rate of rotation is inexorably slowing down. This ...
Interactive image map of the global topography of Mars. Hover your mouse over the image to see the names of over 60 prominent geographic features, and click to link to them. Coloring of the base map indicates relative elevations, based on data from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter on NASA's Mars Global Surveyor.
Mars spins a little more quickly each year, according to data collected by NASA’s now-retired InSight lander.
The HTML markup produced by this template emits an Geo microformat, which makes the location's coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map. As yet, the standard for doing this for off-world bodies is still under development, but is supported in some microformat parsers (e.g. Swignition ).
