And now for something completely different: NASA’s curiosity shines a feather -shaped cloud in the Martian sky shortly after sunset on the red planet.
This is the January date of 2023, but NASA recently Featured An agency spotlight highlighting the investigation of the ROVER in the planet last month.
In that investigation, curiosity captured 4426 Sol 4426 images during the period 17th of January 16 minutes or on Mars. The images show reddish-green clouds in the Martian twilight. Clouds are the way the sunlight spreads in the noclicient (or “night shining”), the dusty martian atmosphere.
According to a NASA ReleaseMartian clouds are made of water ice or carbon dioxide ice. Only the next group – which occurs at a higher height and lower temperature than the cloud clouds – shine in the above way. The nocloccent clouds occur on the surface of about 37 to 50 miles (60 and 80 km) on the height of Mars. When the clouds flow at the bottom (about 31 miles or below 50 kilometers) they evaporate due to rising temperature in the atmosphere.
The nocturnal clouds are not just an exterior event. Rocket could launch on earth Cause The shining clouds in the upper atmosphere of the earth, which are simply visible soon after sunset or before sunrise – otherwise they are very bright to see.
The clouds of Mars come in many shapes and shapes. In 2022, the ESA scientists Stained The clouds are not contrary to the forms that make the earth in the red planet. The next year, the persecution was welcomed to the rover Heavy cloud coverOver the image of the image of the image recently is not a newly discovered event but is still fascinating to see – and still requires a lot of investigation.
In 1997, the twilight cloud was first seen on Mars by the NASA Pathfinder Mission. Curiosity did not repeat the technique until 2017, and last month’s visit to the fourth Tuesday year that marked the Rover Cloud.
Late last year, NASA researchers Published A study Geophysical research paper The impact of the iridesscent describes how the ice is formed and increased in the atmosphere of Mars.
“I will always remember the first time I saw these aromatic clouds and at first it was certain that it was some colorful patterns,” Mark Lemon at the Colorado Space Science Institute said Mark Lemon and the main author of the study, Nasa said a nasa ReleaseThe “Now it has become so guessed that we can plan our shots in advance; Clouds appear at the same time at the same time of the year. “
The release note that these clouds did not see the Rover in other parts of Mars. It can be that the region is curious roves – the mount of gall clerk – the tendency of the cloud hosting.
