The location of the monolith (HiRISE image PIA10368) The Phobos monolith is a large rock on the surface of Mars' moon Phobos. [1] It is a boulder, about 85 m (279 ft) across and 90 m (300 ft) tall.
Fretted terrain is a type of surface feature common to certain areas of Mars and discovered in Mariner 9 images. It lies between two different surfaces. It lies between two different surfaces.
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 ...
The Mars monolith as seen from orbit. The Mars monolith is a rectangular object, possibly a boulder, discovered on the surface of Mars. [1] [2] The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took pictures of it from orbit, roughly 180 miles (300 km) away. [1]
NASA's Curiosity rover, selfie, 2015. A Mars rover is a remote-controlled motor vehicle designed to travel on the surface of Mars. Rovers have several advantages over stationary landers: they examine more territory, they can be directed to interesting features, they can place themselves in sunny positions to weather winter months, and they can advance the knowledge of how to perform very ...
In the full-resolution color image, Earth was 90 pixels across and the Moon was 24 pixels across from a distance of 142 million km. [7] On May 25, 2008, HiRISE imaged NASA's Mars Phoenix Lander parachuting down to the surface of Mars. It was the first time that one spacecraft imaged the final descent of another spacecraft onto a planetary body.
Curiosity 's view of Martian soil and boulders after crossing the "Dingo Gap" sand dune (February 9, 2014; image transformed to Earth-like atmospheric view, original image). Martian regolith is the fine blanket of unconsolidated, loose, heterogeneous superficial deposits covering the surface of Mars.
NASA's Curiosity rover has just sent us what may arguably be the best images of the Red Planet to date.
