So, hello today’s new blog and today’s topic is Mars the Mars has a fascinated humanity and also globally in their night sky where the Red Planet has inspired the myths sparked scientific curiosity and also becoming the centerpiece of the countless space mission’s. So today the mass stands as a most likely candidate for the human exploration beyond the moon and maybe also the someday our second home
Introduction
The Mars is a 4th planet from the Sun which is orbiting at a distance of about 228 million kilometers which is approximately 141 million miles. While that might sound small, but Mars boast some of the most dramatic Landscapes in the solar system and also massive volcanoes deep carrions and a polar ice cap also are there.
It’s also a nickname as the Red Planet comes from the iron oxide or also the rust on its surface which is giving it the distinctive radish hue. The Martian de It’s just over a 24.5 hrs. and the year on Mars lasts about 687 earth dates.
What makes Mars special
Geological diversity
Olympus mourns the largest volcano in the solar system arises 22 kilometer which is about three .6 miles high about the three times the height of the Mount Everest then there’s valets’ marinas or cavern Canyon system so worst it stretches across nearly a quarter of the planet’s circumference.
Water evidence
Though Mars today is a cold and dry their overwhelming evidence that it is once had a flowing water. Ancient riverbeds leaked by scenes and even also a mineral formation suggested that the billions of the years ago where the males may have had a climate capable of the supporting life.
Atmosphere and climate
Marx has a thin atmosphere composed as a mostly of the carbon dioxide which is with also the dress amount of the nitrogen and they are gone. This atmosphere is about the 100 times thinner than the Earth’s making it enables to support the human life as it is. It is also can’t retain much heat so surface temperatures range widely from the belly 20 degrees Celsius which is approximately 68 Fahrenheit at the equator 2 – 125 degrees Celsius which is 195-degree Fahrenheit at the Poles.
Mars and the search of life
The big question has life even exist on the Mars
So far, no direct evidence of the life has been found but the planet’s watery past keeps scientists hopeful. Missions like the NASA’s perseverance rover are searching for the signs of the ancient microbial life in the sedimentary rock similar to this that the preserve fossil on the earth.
The Mars or so experiences the methane spikes in their atmosphere where the on-Earth methane is usually produced by the living organisms so these Martian spikes could be glue or they might be the due to the geological process. Either way it’s a mystery scientist or eager to solve
Robotics explorer
Wicking 1 and 2 This first successful landers to conduct the experiment directly on the surface
Spirit and opportunity this twin provers that the revolutionized our understanding and the Martian geography which is started to the 2004 to 2019
Curiosity a nuclear power drover still roaming the Gale Crater and studying Marx climate and their habitability in the present time which is launched from the 2012 and it is also working at the present time
Perseverance Currently exploring the equipped with the most advanced tool even the send to the another planet
Ingenuity A small helicopter that made the History as the first aircraft to fly on other worlds.
March as humanity next step
With the earth facing environmental challenges and overpopulation the Mars has become the beacon of the possibilities which is good human life there technologically we are getting closer
Organizations like the NASA SpaceX and the European Space Agencies are now working on the towards the human mission in the 2030s. Elon Musk vision for SpaceX involves the bidding sustainability cities on the Mars and complete with the thousands of the Starships transporting settles and the supplies
But there are some serious challenges to overcome in the way
Radiation without the magnetic field or thick atmosphere the Mars is a bombarded by the Harmful cosmic rays and solar radiation
Gravity the Mars has only 38% of Earth gravity which is long term effect on the human body are unknown
Resources everything, we need to survive is air water food shelter would have to be brought or created on the Mars
Psychological strain isolation confinement and also the distance from the Earth would take a toll on the astronaut’s mental health
Terraforming Mars Sci Fi or real possibilities
some dreams even the bigger not just visiting the Mars but also they are transforming it into the livable word where the terraforming is hypothetical process of the modifying the planet’s atmosphere and the temperature to the supporting the human life and also the ideas range from the New King its poles in a release the CO2 which is wood her and the planet two deploying the giant orbit mirrors to increasing the sunlight however the current technology is Norway near making this possibilities.
