PLANET MARS

NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission captured data on the Red Planet's ultraviolet "nightglow." This phenomena in shown using green-to-white false color in this visualization above a rotating "simulated view of the Mars globe," according to NASA.

These ridges and channels are in a light-toned unit near Nirgal Vallis on Mars. The ridges are very well exposed at this location. The unit contains inverted craters, which are uncommon. This is plausibly a water-altered ash deposit emanating from the fissure to the northeast. (This is a non-narrated clip.) Music: “Rage” by the 126ers. (Used by permission.)

Thanks to data from NASA’s MAVEN satellite, researchers have created the very first detailed map of the electric currents responsible for shaping the magnetic field that wraps around Mars. » Subscribe to Seeker! http://bit.ly/subscribeseeker » Watch more Elements! http://bit.ly/ElementsPlaylist » Visit our shop at http://shop.seeker.com Researchers at the University of Colorado, Boulder have created the very first detailed map of the electric currents responsible for shaping the magnetic field that wraps around Mars, and the resulting visualizations can provide clues as to how we can maybe make this inhospitable planet, hospitable. Unlike Earth, Mars doesn’t have an intrinsic magnetic field to stop charged particles from stripping away its atmosphere, nor does it have global magnetic field to protect it from the rigors of space weather. The red planet however does have spots of local, induced magnetism and researchers have now been able to create an incredible, detailed map of the electric currents that are responsible for shaping these magnetic fields. The team working with the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft have been able to produce some jaw-dropping visualizations from the captured magnetic readings. Find out more about how these visualizations came to be and what this detailed map could mean for our future understanding of Mars’ atmosphere in this Elements. #Mars #NASA #satellite #space #science #seeker #elements Read More: MAVEN Maps Electric Currents around Mars that are Fundamental to Atmospheric Loss https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/goddard/2020/mars-electric-currents "Five years after NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft entered into orbit around Mars, data from the mission has led to the creation of a map of electric current systems in the Martian atmosphere."

NASA's latest mission to Mars could potentially change everything we know about our little red neighbor. Dan blasts off to break down all the details on this episode of Nerdist News! What do you think Perseverance will find on Mars? Let us know in the comments!

Earlier in the day today, @NASA successfully launched their latest Mars rover, Perseverance. Now that it’s rocketing its way to Mars, we’re here to explore what it will do once it gets there. Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice are joined by NASA Chief Scientist James Green, PhD, to break down what Perseverance will be doing once it touches down on the red surface. Firstly, why launch now? James tells us why this is the perfect window to launch to Mars. You’ll learn why NASA is targeting to land Perseverance on an ancient Martian shoreline. We discuss why our own evolution history helps inform us where to land the rover. Find out the logistics of how Perseverance will land on the Martian surface. Will we experience a similar six minutes of terror like we experienced when Curiosity made its descent? James explains why the landing procedures may sound crazy but they actually make “fantastic sense.” You’ll hear about all the different experiments attached to Perseverance including a rock corer, high-tech cameras, and a ground-penetrating radar. Lastly, James tells us about Ingenuity, the tiny helicopter accompanying Perseverance on this mission. All that, plus, find out why James is excited to have a microphone on-board Perseverance.

Was there once life on Mars? Our Perseverance rover aims to find out! On Thursday, July 30, watch our new robotic astrobiologist launch on a seven-month journey to the Red Planet. Launching on board will be the most sophisticated set of tools ever sent to Mars, with the hope Perseverance will uncover the planet’s secrets. Tune in to our live launch broadcast starting at 7 a.m. EDT. Teams are targeting 7:50 a.m. EDT for liftoff of Perseverance atop United Launch Alliance's Atlas V rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Don’t forget to set a reminder to join us in the #CountdownToMars – you won’t want to miss this historic mission take flight!

NASA’s Mars rover, Perseverance, is on its way to the Red Planet with the goal of seeking out evidence of life there. How will we know that evidence if we see it? And how can we be sure we’re not “discovering” Earth microbes that hitched a ride with the rover? Here’s what NASA’s scientists, engineers, and their “planetary protection lead” have to say.

The job of the Perseverance rover will be to seek out signs of ancient life and collect rock and soil samples for possible return to Earth. We talk to SETI Institute Mars experts Nathalie Cabrol, Janice Bishop, and Pablo Sobron about what we can expect from this exciting new mission. Hosted by Simon Steel.

Our story started 6 years ago with an ambitious vision. It seemed to be a dream, especially to the dedicated youth. We overcame many hurdles and accomplished great milestones. Our journey had many steps but never a last stop. We’ve reached space and are now aiming for #Mars. The sky is not the limit, but just the beginning. Nothing is impossible! #EmiratesMarsMission

2020 can be regarded as the year of Mars. Following Sunday's launch of the UAE's Mars probe, China inaugurates its first Mars exploration mission Tianwen-1 in Wenchang Space Launch Center in southern Hainan Province. After the launch via a Long March-5 carrier rocket, the Mars probe will conduct a series of tasks and explorations on the red planet. Hailed as Earth's sister planet, Mars has become the priority planet in deep space exploration. Can Mars be turned into a second habitat for humans? What will our lives be like if we settle on Mars in the future? Join CGTN to get a closer look at Mars and explore the beauty of the mysterious planet.

China's Long March-5 Y4 carrier rocket, carrying the Mars probe, blasted off at 12:41 p.m., July 23, 2020, from Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in south China's Hainan Province.

Millions of miles from Earth lies a dusty, cold, desert world with a very thin atmosphere. You know this planet as Mars…but it hasn’t always been this way. There’s evidence that the Red Planet was much wetter and warmer, with a thicker atmosphere, billions of years ago. Could it also have supported life? NASA’s Perseverance rover launches next week and will explore the Red Planet to collect rock and soil samples, which may preserve ancient signs of life. Join experts on #NASAScience Live Wednesday, July 22 at 3:00 p.m. EDT, to learn more about this robotic astrobiologist.
