Curiosity Rover, Surprisingly colored ‘twilight clouds’ spots in Mars

Now for something completely different: NASA’s Curiosity Rover seized a cloud in the form of a feather shining in the sky of Martian shortly after the sunset on the red planet.

This returned to January 2023, but NASA recently owned The image of an agency focused, stressed the study of the skies of the planet last month.

This investigation seized the interests of 4426 years old or in Mars on January 17 or in Mars. Images show red-green clouds in Martian Twilight. The clouds are clouds (or “shine”) clouds caused by the light in the dusty Martian atmosphere of the sun’s light.

According to a NASA releaseMartian clouds are made of either water ice or from carbon dioxide ice. On the above track, the last group only at higher heights and lower temperatures that glitters ice clouds. Noctileducent clouds occur in Mars in Mars, about 37 and 50 miles (60 and 80 kilometers) above the surface. The clouds are lower (about 31 miles or 50 kilometers below the range), evaporated due to rising temperatures in the atmosphere.

Nockkilecient clouds are simply not a phenomenon of an overhead. Rocket launches on Earth cause Bright clouds in the upper atmosphere of the earth that appears before sunset or sunrise – otherwise it is very bright to see them.

Mars’ clouds are in many forms and sizes. ESA scientists in 2022 spotted The red planet is not clouds that occur on earth in the sky. The next year, was welcomed with perseverance rover Heavy cloud cover– Dusty, a sign of cloudy days to come to the world. Recently imaged clouds are not a newly discovered event, but there are still a lot and requires a lot of inspections.

The twilight clouds were seen in 1997 by NASA’s Pathfinder mission in Mars for the first time. The interesting did not repeat the plot until 2017 and the meeting was the fourth Mars of Mars, which stained the clouds of Rover.

Last year’s last, NASA researchers published a business Geophysical Research Letters The effect of the light explains how the effect is made in the ice and the atmosphere of Mars.

“I always saw these iridescent clouds and first saw a number of color artifacts,” said Mark Lemmon, in the Colorado Institute of Space in Colorado in the Space Sciences in Space Sciences and a NASA release. “Now it can be predicted as we can plan our shots as predicted; the clouds appear in the same time of the year.”

Here the notes of these clouds are not seen by rovers in other parts of Mars. It may be that the region’s interest – Gale crater can be inclined to host sharp fashion clouds.
