Layers play an essential part in shaping planet’s history and future development, including their melting effects on mantle material and volcanic eruptions that alter climate, foster life or destroy it. Scientists are now using the InSight lander to record marsquakes to examine these layers that lie below Mars, hoping that by doing so they will…
Mars, located approximately half the way out from the Sun, is the fourth planet from our Sun. It is approximately half as large as Earth and has approximately half its mass. Mars likely features a dense core composed of iron, nickel and sulfur; this solid core is surrounded by an outer mantle composed of peridotite….
Scientists have long studied Mars with an aim of discovering past or present life there, as well as trying to assess how such life might have formed there. Life requires complex chemistry, liquid water bodies and photosynthesising energy sources in order to form. 1. How long does it take to get to Mars? Mars lies…
Mars is a terrestrial planet commonly referred to as “The Red Planet.” Due to its elliptical orbit around the Sun, it experiences different seasons than Earth does and its tilt changes over time. Mars is more susceptible than Earth to dust storms, making life for robots on Mars difficult. These storms can even affect their…
Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun, takes its name from the Roman god of war. Its distinctive red hue derives from an abundance of iron oxide covering its surface. Mars has always captured people’s imagination, from ancient civilizations through to contemporary space exploration technology. Telescopes have brought it closer, while technology enables space travel….
Mars (Mangal) symbolizes masculine characteristics like strength of body, assertiveness, courage, and confidence. It rules over two sidereal signs – Aries and Scorpio. Being of tamas guna energy type it provides tremendous amounts of vitality and energy to both signs. Hindu mythology recognizes Mars as one of the nine planets or navagrahas. Alternatively known as…
Researchers used a 3D printer for the first time ever to mix Martian rock dust with titanium alloy to form a stronger and higher performance material that one day may be used on Mars to make tools or rocket parts. Tiny meteoroids pockmark Mars’ atmosphere, and just like on Earth, its magnetic field and ionosphere…
Similar to Earth, Mars features an axial tilt that determines its seasons, known as its obliquity and can change over hundreds of millions of years. As Mars’ obliquity shifts, sunlight disappears from certain parts of its surface while remaining bright in others, which causes ice to vanish in polar regions and humidity to increase elsewhere…
Mars, the fiery planet that rules Aries and Scorpio signs, provides swift mental activity, extraordinary muscular strength and ambition in material pursuits. Furthermore, Mars connects strongly to one’s senses. Planet Mars is often depicted as a red planet; however, up close it may reveal more colors such as tan, brown and even greenish hues. Zodiac…
