Martian dust devil photographed by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. This dust devil is 800 m (2,600 ft) tall and 30 m (98 ft) wide. This dust devil is 800 m (2,600 ft) tall and 30 m (98 ft) wide. The existence of dust devils on Mars was confirmed by analysis of data from the Viking probes in the early 1980s.
Mars is much less tectonically active than Earth, and marsquakes are unlikely to have provided seismic waves of the required magnitude. [10] Most sizable craters on Mars date to the Late Heavy Bombardment , 4.1 to 3.8 billion years ago (the Noachian period), and are older than the landslide deposits in Valles Marineris.
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]

A video claims to include footage and audio from the Perseverance rover on Mars. But the image is a panoramic photo and the sound was added. Fact check: Viral video doesn't reveal sights, sounds ...
On May 4, 2022, NASA's InSight lander detected the largest quake yet recorded on Mars, one with a 4.7 magnitude - fairly modest by Earth standards but strong for our planetary neighbor. Given Mars ...
Mojave is a rayed crater, another indication of its youth, and is the largest such crater on Mars. Based on crater counts of its ejecta blanket , it is thought to be about 3 million years old. It is believed to be the most recent crater of its size on Mars, and has been identified as the probable source of the shergottite meteorites collected ...
NASA's InSight lander is fighting a layer of Mars dust that's covering its solar panels and causing a power shortage. Still, it made a big discovery. Wavering NASA lander detects biggest Mars ...
