Scientists have been searching whether the red planet ever had water on its surface. Water, being important to life, could indicate chances of future human civilization on Mars, as per scientific hypotheses. Images from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter or the MRO recently showed possible glacier beneath white salt-like structures, named “relict glacier” by scientists.
Nasa’s Curiosity rover captured an image of sunset on Mars. The splendid photo of the Martian sunset showed rays illuminating the group of clouds. The phenomenon of merging sun rays with the bank of clouds is known as crepuscular rays.
To scientists, the Mars venture has become what the New World was to Europeans 600 years ago. For decades scientists have been planning out strategies to build permanent human colonies on Mars. But the opponents of colonizing Mars have a point too. A Greek American space expert, Dr Stamatios Krimigis has said that colonizing Mars is almost impossible, at least for the next 200 years.
NASA’s camera has captured an image that shows Bear’s face on Mars. NASA’s photo showed a weird geological feature on the surface of the Red Planet, captured in December. The image was captured with Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter also known as High Resolution Imaging Experiment or HiRISE.
For many decades, the red planet has always baffled our scientists. A research a few weeks back suggested that there used to be water on Mars but changing climate changed everything for the planet. The latest research has dug a bit deeper into the mystery.
For the past 50 years, humans have sent robots and other machinery to explore Mars. These machines have either crashed or stopped working and have been just left there. As of now, there is an estimated 15,694 lbs (pounds) of trash left by human exploration.
