The orientation of Mars's axis is such that its north celestial pole is in Cygnus at R.A. 21 h 10 m 42 s Decl. +52° 53.0′ (or more precisely, 317.67669 +52.88378), near the 6th-magnitude star BD +52 2880 (also known as HR 8106, HD 201834, or SAO 33185), which in turn is at R.A. 21 h 10 m 15.6 s Decl. +53° 33′ 48″.
The rover used its Mastcam instrument to capture the area on the 4,352 Martian day of the pioneering mission. Images of the area from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter had shown light-colored ...
A version for Earth called HRSC-AX was also developed, as was a version for Mars 96. [1] It has four main parts: camera head, super resolution channel, instrument frame, and digital unit. [1] At an altitude of 250 km from Mars, SRC can produce images with a resolution of 2.3 meters/pixel of 2.35 km square Mars terrain. [1]
The mystery of Mars's interior has been revealed thanks to marsquakes. Using data compiled by NASA's InSight mission that has detected hundreds of marsquakes since landing on the red planet in ...
In late November 2005 while descending "Husband Hill," NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit took the most detailed panorama so far of the "Inner Basin," the rover's next target destination. Spirit acquired the 405 individual images that make up this 360-degree view of the surrounding terrain using five different filters on the panoramic camera.
The first ever close-up picture of a star outside of our galaxy has shown that it is wrapped in a strange structure. The image shows a star named WOH G64 that is surrounded by gas and dust.
