A Cold Moon only happens once a year while Mars is in retrograde every 26 months. On Wednesday night, the two events will collide.
The Mars ocean theory suggests that nearly a third of the surface of Mars was once covered by water, though the water on Mars is no longer oceanic. Much of it now resides in the ice caps, in a solid state. A cross-section of Mars underground ice is exposed at the steep slope that appears bright blue in this enhanced-color view from the MRO. [11]
The current Venusian atmosphere has only ~200 mg/kg H 2 O(g) in its atmosphere and the pressure and temperature regime makes water unstable on its surface. Nevertheless, assuming that early Venus's H 2 O had a ratio between deuterium (heavy hydrogen, 2H) and hydrogen (1H) similar to Earth's Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water of 1.6×10 −4, [7] the current D/H ratio in the Venusian atmosphere ...
Measurements today from telescopes have measured a diameter of 1.3 Earths wide. [16] Oval BA (or Red Spot Jr.) is the second-largest storm on Jupiter and formed from the merging of 3 smaller cyclones in 2000. It is located just to the south of the Great Red Spot and has been increasing in size in recent years, slowly turning a more uniform ...
Mars and the moon will make a close approach to each other in the sky tonight (Sept. 16), ...
This means that Mars has lost a volume of water 6.5 times what is stored in today's polar caps. The water for a time would have formed an ocean in the low-lying Mare Boreum. The amount of water could have covered the planet about 140 meters, but was probably in an ocean that in places would be almost 1 mile deep. [1] [2]
