Mars, our neighbor planet, is the most explored planet in our solar system, the Milky Way. We have taken a certain interest in Mars, because there is a possibility that it may have sustained life. It is also the most convenient and has the most hospitable climate. That is why we have collected more information about Mars’s atmosphere, physical characteristics, moons, and orbit than other planets. Mars’s interior composition is formed mush like Earth’s. It has a solid care, liquid mantle, and thin
Mars: Is There Life Out There? Since 1976, when the Viking Landers took off toward the red planet, people have been wondering if there is life on Mars. There have been questions of pictures taken from Mars and skepticism about why some of the recent landings have failed. Scientists, up till now, have been doubtful about life on Mars. Everything changed on August 7, 1996, when NASA and President Clinton told the world that a very primitive life form had been found in a meteorite, from 1984. President
Mars, which is also known as the red planet, is the fourth planet away from the sun. It is the second smallest planet in the solar system after Mercury. Mars was named after the Roman god of war. In many Chinese cultures Mars was known as the fire star, which is a name that was based on the ancient Chinese, and was it was usually associated with war and death. Mars has two moons; Phobos and Deimos. These two moons are just like Earth’s moon, because they present the same face to their planet. This
Mars One Mars One is an organization and future mission with many goals. Mars One has plans to launch a one way trip to Mars in the year 2025. By sending out Mars One, scientists hope to achieve goals such as humans surviving on Mars, successful plant growth, and to find out more about the planet. Mars One is a non-for-profit organization who runs mostly on donations to fund their missions (“About”). Mars One was founded in 2011, but was not well known until a few months after (“About”). The Mars
Human settlement on Mars and the effects of our colonisation Kirsteen McCalman Space travel is somewhat of a high possibility now. The Mars One campaign to send humans to Mars has received 200,000 applicants, and 24 people will be chosen to leave Earth in 2025. With all this hype, we must wonder whether or not it is actually worth the risk. What is the Martian environment like? How would we colonise Mars? What rules and regulations would need to be in place and what would life be like for the settlers
The Mars Experience One night I was in my bed dreaming about my dream vacation, the red planet, Mars. In my dream I did many wonderful things. I climbed large mountains, swam in volcanoes, and was chased by insane martian animals. I took off by myself at New York's Universal Space Station in my brand new luxury spaceship. After about a day of enjoyable flying I arrived at Mars. After gaining clearance, I took the massive ship in for a smooth landing at Mars' Universal Space Port. There
Mars Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and the last of the solid, non-gas planets in our solar system. Mars is the seventh largest planet in our solar system. The diameter is about 4,220 miles. The equatorial circumference is about 13,259 miles. Earth’s equatorial circumference is about 24,901 miles so Mars’ equatorial circumference is approximately 53.2% that of Earth. The radius of Mars’ core is 1,056 miles. The surface area is 55,742,106 square miles, which is about 28% that of Earth
Now a vast region for growing knowledge. The distance of Venus, the atmosphere of Mars, the size of Jupiter, and the speed of Mercury. All this and more we know. But their greatest mystery the heavens have kept a secret. What sort of life, if any, inhabits these other planets? Human life, like ours? Or life extremely lower in the scale. Or dangerously higher (). With this quote on the mind, the planet known as Mars or the Red Planet made a big divide in the scientific community. This divide is about
Mars is the fourth planet from the sun at about 228 million-km (141 million miles) and the last terrestrial planet from the sun. The next five planets in order from the sun are gaseous. Mars follows closely behind Earth but is comparatively smaller, with about half the diameter of Earth and about one-tenth of Earth’s mass. Thus the force of gravity on Mars is about one-third of that on Earth. Though it is much smaller, Mars does have the same surface land area as Earth. Other than Earth
Mars and the Earth Geologists study the surface of both Mars and Earth by using interplanetary comparative analysis to further their understanding of the two planets. In some ways, Mars resembles Earth. Features on Mars such as an atmosphere, a wind-modified surface, near-surface water, volcanism, seasons, ice caps, dust storms, and channels can be found on Earth as well, albeit slightly different in origination or intensity. Despite their similarities, their differences are profound. Their
that problem. For example, getting to Mars. Going to Mars is something that is possible, considering the fact that humans have been there a couple of times already, like the Mariner 4 or the Curiosity Rover (Cain 1). Although this is true, there are still plenty of problems with sending people to Mars. Some of these problems include how they are going to come back to Earth, or if they can survive Mars, at the least survive the ridiculously long ride to Mars (Cain 1). On the other hand, they have
Geology of Mars Mars is the planet that is the closest geologically to our own. Still we know little about the planet. All the information that we have is from what we see. We can speculate about the geology of the planet but we will never know for sure what the planet is really made of until we physicallygo there. The information is all from NASA sites or NASA related sites. Mars' red color leads us to believe that the planet has large amounts of iron. This red color is the only color
of the planet we call Mars, the red planet. There have been many successful attempts to get a glimpse of the interesting planet, and scientists are still working on a better solution to get there. The first rover to explore Mars was "Mariner 4", which arrived on November 28, 1964. It was a spacecraft designated to orbit the planet of Mars, but not to land. It lasted for about 8 months, and was not able to survive much longer than that due to the conditions on and around Mars. Rovers before have captured
Did Mars ever mirror Earth? I would like to start this discussion by defining the term “mirrored,” as being a like or characteristic of a mirror image. So for proposes of this discussion I will use this definition meaning it is in a resemblance and not a direct copy of one another. Now with all the formalities out of the way let’s move on. After spending a small portion of my life reading through papers about Mars Geology I have come to the conclusion that Mars does in fact have supporting evidence
Mars And Venus I am following up on the book of , "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus." by John Gray. "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus" was been a very interesting book. The book brought up some very interesting facts about both sexes. While also remaining very general to cover basically everyone and simple for everyone to understand. So simple in fact that I saw everything in there as being common sense; but also at the same time being hidden from the obvious senses
Terraforming Mars Project Terraform Mars is a difficult task that us as humans are trying to accomplish to fulfill the entirety of our speeches . There is a number of ways to achieve this task , but there are many questions that we do not have answers for. This paper will present my idea for how we could terraform Mars to successfully elongate the human speeches . According to Thefreedictionary. com terraforming is defined as transforming another planet into one having the same characteristics of
Mars In this short journey there are going to be many interesting facts about the planet Mars. Mars has many mysteries like how did it form or how did mars get its name, when was it discovered. Read on and what you find might amaze you. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and is the second smallest planet recorded in our solar system. Mars has a very distinctive color this planet from afar has somewhat of a red color from rusty dust blowing around the planet’s atmosphere. If you are up close
Enneking 2/23/2017 Comp II Next Stop Mars As I searched for my I-search topic several ideas ran through my head. Then I thought about how the topic is supposed to affect us personally. This made me think about what is affecting everyone, and I thought about the rapidly growing population of Earth. As the population increases to extreme size, space on Earth begins to reach it’s maximum. What top scientists are thinking is the next step sits 140,000,000 miles away. Mars has many features that make it the
and colonize is Mars. Some people say that it will be far too risky for the astronauts, but humans will figure how to make it even safer so they can fulfill their need to explore. Therefore, NASA should be funded by Congress
opinions on whether we can go to Mars. Some say that it is impossible because of the climate and distance between Earth and Mars. On the other hand, others believe that, in the near future, with all the latest technology, we will be able to bring humans to Mars. Wernher Von Braun was the first person to discuss and analyze this topic. NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and Mars One are both conducting separate projects to find a way for humans to colonise Mars. There are many steps for
