Due to the lack of atmosphere, water, and plates like the Earth’s crust, craters on the moon could remain unchanged for billions of years, meaning you can still see craters that are up to two billion years old. The large dark region we see, or the lower region of the moon, we call the ocean….
This shadow was created by Phobos, a satellite of Mars. Photo captured and sent by perseverance Phobos is 150 times smaller than our Moon and 50 times closer to Mars. Because it is so close, Phobos will crash into Mars in the next 50 million years. Also, the number of eclipses is higher because the…
This is a processed image from the spacecraft. On March 5, 1982, the spacecraft Venera 14 landed on the surface of Venus.
Mercury’s surface contains small amounts of sodium. The reason for this yellow tail is that it shines in the sunlight . When exposed to sunlight, not only are the sodium atoms released, but other elements also come out of the surface in this way. Mercury’s tail was first discovered in 2001. Then, from 2011 to…
The Murchison meteorite has a specialty to it. It’s not the type of rock that normally lies on the ground and is defined as a meteorite. These are meteorites obtained by direct observation of a meteorite eruption, which means that the samples were obtained fresh by scientists.On September 28, 1968, the meteorite exploded in the…
The difference between the Moon’s surface and the other side was identified by the US Apollo mission and the Soviet Union’s Luna mission. What is the difference between the two sides of the moon, which have no human habitation and no water? The scientific community has found the answer to this perplexing question. What is…
Depending on how old the surface is, it can be seen that the number of craters on Mars varies from place to place on the surface.Most of the surface of the Southern Hemisphere is very old, and there are many craters. This is where Hellas Planitia, the planet’s largest crater at 1,400 miles (2,300 km),…
Ice volcanoes found on the surface of Pluto. An iceberg, or ice volcano, is a body of water that rises and cools in the form of a volcano. In July 2015, scientists analyzed images taken by NASA’s spacecraft orbiting Pluto and its satellites to identify the presence of ice volcanoes on Pluto. The temperature at…
But let’s see how long it has been since our spacecraft reached their destination. Launched on November 3, 1973, Mariner10 took 147 days to reach Mercury on March 29, 1974. But the speed still needs to go down a bit to reach the orbit. It took Messenger 1260 days to reach orbit. It will still…
