NASA MAVEN captures mesmerizing ultraviolet images of Mars

[ad_1] NASA's MAVEN has released stunning ultraviolet images of the red planet from different points along its orbit around the Sun. The ultraviolet wavelength images will help researchers discover atmospheric dynamics and examine surface characteristics in detail, Devdiscourse stated.With the help of MAVEN's Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) instrument, scientists were able to capture clear images of Mars in two different seasons 2022 and 2023. To make the ultraviolet wavelengths visible to the human eye, a color scheme is used, where the distinct brightness levels of three ultraviolet wavelength ranges are transformed into vibrant shades of red, green, and blue. Not only it helps us understand the different wavelengths but it also helps scientists to differentiate between atmosp...

Bizarre! A duck! On Mars? Look what NASA Curiosity Rover just shot

[ad_1] NASA’s Curiosity Rover has captured a bizarre image of a duck on Mars. Here's more about it. Is that you Daffy Duck? That was our first thought when we had a glance at the latest image captured by NASA's Curiosity Rover! The rover has been on a Mars exploratory mission since its launch in 2011 and it has not only captured breathtaking snapshots of the barren planet, but has also discovered the potential signs that life may have existed on the planet. As is clear, the ‘Duck' that was captured is not a real creature, but it is certainly among the most bizarre things captured on the surface of the red planet. It looks like someone actually made it. Aliens?Earlier this year, the Martian rover spotted a spiked rock formation which formed as a result of the erosion of soil due to hig...

Extraordinary new images taken by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope

[ad_1] NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, which was launched in December 2021 and is working successfully, has recently captured its first images of our neighbouring planet, Mars. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, which was launched in December 2021 and is working successfully, has recently captured its first images of our neighbouring planet, Mars. The telescope, an international collaboration with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency), provides a unique perspective with its infrared sensitivity on Mars, complementing data being collected by orbiters, rovers, and other telescopes, NASA stated in its blog. The NASA Webb Telescope's official Twitter handle shared the images along with the tweet that...
