SPEAKING OF PICTURES OF THINGS. WELCOME TO pictures of the surface of planets.

Here is our girl pretty red girl MARS:

Can you believe that this is the real surface of Mars? Like this isn’t some desert pic in California, THIS IS MARS. Like an actual place where you can stand and pick up a rock and get red sand between your toes. Also shout out to the Viking Mars Orbiter who took this photo. Thank you to the Vikings. JK, no Vikings were a part of this photo. Mars is super cool because there is actually a chance that we could physically go there and not immediately die. Maybe we can get a new vacation home on mars? Space Club Headquarters?

UAE’s HOPE MARS MISSION CAPTURES STUNNING IMAGE.

The Hope mission of the @uaspaceagency snapped a stunning new image of Mars.

In February 2022, the spacecraft sent the raw data, which amateur image processor @jpmajor utilized to produce this picture. 

Near the middle of this image is the massive Valles Marineris canyon system, and the ice fields at either pole truly stand out against the rest of the red planet.

Hope, the Mars mission of the United Arab Emirates.

United Arab Emirates orbiter Hope arrives on Mars in February 2021. To better grasp what Mars was like when its atmosphere may have supported life, Hope is researching the planet's environment.

The Arab world's first space mission is called Hope. Greater nations researching our solar system will lead to more discoveries and chances for international cooperation.

Why did Mars' atmosphere change?

Mars is a frigid, arid desert with an atmosphere 100 times thinner than Earth's that is packed with carbon dioxide. But things weren't always that way. We are aware that liquid water originally flowed across its surface, supported by a possible life-supporting atmosphere.

Then, though, something occurred. Mars' magnetic field vanished around 3 billion years ago, just as life first emerged on Earth. 

The solar wind, a continuous stream of charged particles emanating from the Sun, cannot reach Earth because of our planet's magnetic field. 

Without a magnetic field to shield it, the solar wind took most of Mars' atmosphere away, causing the planet to gradually change into what it is today. 

These discoveries were produced by NASA's MAVEN mission, which is still on Mars.

How is Hope researching the atmosphere of Mars?

The goal is to get a thorough understanding of the Martian atmosphere and track the evolution of Mars' climate. This will help researchers understand the history of Mars and whether or not life may have ever been there. Additionally, it will clarify the causes and effects of the climatic changes that are taking place on our own planet.

Hope also highlights the significance and potential of global space exploration. 

The United Arab Emirates is in charge of the expedition, and scientists and engineers from American colleges are taking part. The spacecraft was launched by Japan. Space exploration unites us all, and everyone benefits when additional countries take part and work together.

What time did Hope launch, and what time did it land on Mars?

Amidst the additional burden of the worldwide COVID-19 epidemic, Hope was introduced on July 19, 2020. In February 2021, it came.

How Hope researches the ambiance of Mars

By investigating Mars from a considerably higher orbit (22,000 by 44,000 kilometers as opposed to 4,500 by 150 kilometers), Hope will expand on MAVEN's research. 

Several Mars missions, including MAVEN, have orbits that are ideal for transmitting communications between rovers on Mars' surface and Earth.

Hope will observe Mars' upper atmosphere from its vantage point in orbit, tracking the escape of hydrogen and oxygen, vestiges of Mars' wetter past. 

The spacecraft will also investigate the interactions between the planet's top and lower atmospheres. Beautiful images of the earth may be captured with a high-resolution digital camera.

The main scientific mission of Hope is expected to run for two years. After then, the mission can be prolonged.

New Image Shows the Earth and Moon From Mars

During a recent calibration exercise, NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured a remarkable view of Earth and its moon from a distance of 127 million miles (205 million kilometers). It’s so clear, you can even make out our planet’s continents.
