OUR NASA published new pictures of the surface Mars, where you can see several dunes on the surface of the red planet. Recordings made using the program Martian reconnaissance orbiter projectmission responsible for mapping the planet’s geology and operated by the University of Arizona.

The explanation from the North American Space Agency is that the ridge was formed by local erosion, possibly from an old riverbed. “The ridge is made of more resistant to erosion material and, given the craters on its slopes, formed a long time ago”points to NASA on your website.

According to the agency, despite the fact that it was formed some time ago, erosion continues. Evidence of this is that materials can be seen scattered along the side of the ridge as other neighboring dunes begin to form.

Caption and Scale of the Captured Image

NASA’s description of the correct image reading is as follows:

“Here the map is projected at a scale of 25 centimeters (9.8 inches) per pixel (original image scale is 30.1 centimeters). [11,9 polegadas] per pixel [com 1 x 1 binning]; objects about 90 centimeters [35,4 polegadas] in diameter are allowed.) North is up”.

Cloud identification on Mars

In addition to published photographs of the red planet, NASA also asks for volunteer contributions to learn more about the planet. At the end of July, the company presented a program to identify clouds on Mars. To learn more about this subject, please see the content below for an explanation of how this identification is done using infrared resources.
