NASA is doing various studies on Mars. It carries out these studies with the Perseverance Mars rover. This time, a very striking image came from the spacecraft. Perseverance recorded an image of a blue sunset on Mars. Here is the interesting image!
The image appeared on Thursday, October 5!
NASA’s Mars rover Perseverance has been working for a while. The spacecraft, which is investigating whether there are remnants of past life on the red planet, recently came to the fore with an unexpected image.
perseverance spacecraft is on Mars this time blue sunset recorded the image. The recorded image was shared via X. NASA made a statement for the image shared through the account called Mars Mission Images Bot.
According to the description, the image in question Thursday, October 5 It was taken with the navigation camera on the reconnaissance vehicle. The new image also reveals that Mars has a unique structure. on Mars compared to Earth the atmosphere is different The wavelength of light and the rays coming from the Sun are refracted in different ways. This causes different colors to form.
Mars has a very thin atmosphere. Also from the Earth to the Sun 50 percent farther. Therefore, while the light coming from the Sun interacts with oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide on Earth, it interacts with rich dust particles on Mars. This causes the dust to emit low-frequency red light throughout the day, giving it the distinctive red color of Mars.
During sunrise and sunset, sunlight travels further through the atmosphere. This allows light with short wavelengths to be dispersed, including violet and blue. On the other hand, sunrise and sunset images taken by rovers on Mars also enable scientists to examine the composition of the Martian atmosphere.
