It’s late winter in Mars’ Northern Hemisphere, where the Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter are exploring an ancient river delta that once fed into Jezero Crater billions of years ago. As the planet’s main feature, dust also drives Martian weather. Dust usually heralds winter’s arrival, but the planet is no stranger to snow, ice and frost.

release. “If you were looking for skiing, though, you’d have to go into a crater or cliffside, where snow could build up on a sloped surface.” So far, no orbiters or rovers have been able to see snow fall on the red planet because the weather phenomenon only occurs at the poles beneath cloud cover at night. The cameras on the orbiters can’t peer through the clouds, and no robotic explorers have been developed that could survive the freezing temperatures at the poles.

During winter in Jezero Crater, recent high temperatures have been about 8 F , while lows been about minus 120 F . Meanwhile, at Gale Crater in the Southern Hemisphere near the Martian equator, the Curiosity rover, which landed on Mars in 2012, has been experiencing highs of 5 F and lows of minus 105 F .

Go to the other planets let’s see, what is your business in another planet I wonder? Getting ready to colonize right?

💩Communist News Network 💩

It is a fine prospect but it's going to be a long time before we put a man on Mars if you haven't put one back on the moon in 50 years

Earths magnetosphere plays the role of gatekeeper, repelling this unwanted energy that’s harmful to life on Earth, trapping most of it a safe distance from Earth’s surface. We are not like Mars in any way, shape or form.

More reason to keep appreciating 🌍

Humanity will eventually begin to live on another Planet. I hope this does not happen with the classic Western colonialist mentality. As the West exploits, their wealth increases and the places they exploit become poorer. Let the conquered places be revived, be it Ottoman style.

Okay what am I not getting something here? If the water evaporates before it reaches the ground then why the pics of snow

Mars is a bar! We look to the Stars we think about Mars when we eat it.

THERESS THERESS &SS WISH THERE

Mars will soon be a reality

There's a level of shit you have to get through before this.

thenanaaba I need u over here 😊

Good standby planet for when humans destroy their planet.

Summer on Mars.

There's no such place as outer space, all you have is doctored images of god knows what.

fake

I thought it was blackheads 😳

Have fun Elon! Stay as long as you like! Take your friends!

What the TAM for Tesla cars on Mars?

Oh nooo.... climate change already

Quick questions... How can there be winter on a planet we haven't colonized yet? Who made their calender? Was it the reason why I haven't received my gifts yet cus Santa be tripping recently?

A great lesson for us to care for our planet as Mars and the others out there are simply not Earth. Nothing like ours and there is nowhere to run to.

CNN can migrate to Mars and leave Earth to me.

Mars must changes its climate so that it suits US Capitalism otherwise the US will declare it as an enemy 'planet' and launch an attack under the cloak of LGBT rights/democracy. Few manly looking and flop French actresses will cut their hair. HappyNewYear IranRevolution

Mars, still a dry and desolate place in winter, but a wonderland to watch from cosy Earth… Fits better. You’re welcome.

Can we plant trees on mars?

Try Mars, seriously ?! Which gets as low as minus 123 Celsius…

It is not 'winter'. Otherwise, you would have to say Pluto is forever in 'winter'. Mars is just a colder place than earth being further from the sun. Not as if there is snow falling in Mars.

So it is Wisconsin?

💝

Can you see Santa there?

Has snow but reports it doesnt have snow not long after 🤦‍♀️

The Dems will say Mars is going thru climate change.

Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything; rather, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, make your requests known before God in everything. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Sounds great let's spend billions going there

'Space'. Is. Fake. - Mars is a light in the sky...✌🏾❤️😎

If there is no oxygen then it is not meant to be inhabitable for humans. Stay in your lane

on mars noone can hear your teeth chatter .

سبحان الله والحمدلله ولاإله إلاالله والله أكبر

CNN really needs to hire some honest reporters and journalists that actually report the facts, like the Biden’s laptop, gun charge, fraud, international business deals etc.. but they only report what the democrats want them to report

統一教会問題はどうでも良い。統一教会信者の在家や優婆塞等の対処より西側陣営の半導体技術を強力に強化し 超競争に一所懸命に取り組み10年以内に強いAI(ドラえもんや鉄腕アトム)や光量子コンピュータなどを使える様にして欲しい 中国と独裁主義国より強く発展してほしい。西側頑張れ 岸田さんを近侍

Fucking climate change.

Good place for the greenies

For real 😮 Snow on Mars what a Myth!!

It looks like a dried out lake (Kari) 😂👍🇺🇸

Xi Jinping has never had credit or done any good thing. Mankind must regard Xi Jinping, China, and the Chinese people as a whole to do things. Xi Jinping, China's leaders are actually 'martyrs', scapegoats for 'killed fully westerners, extirpated all civilizations'.

China's'Brain-Control' only know “fully kill previous generations and all westerners. By 'protest blockade','virus outbreak again'they are determinedly overthrowing Xi Jinping. But both are all for China's interests“not responsible for ‘destroyed mankind'',rather become 'martyr'.

C: Which are so little compared to the greatness of the infinit universe.

Which are so small compared to the greatness of the infinit universe.

Every phenomenon in nature in reality is strange,it is just our habit to them that have made them ordinary for us,so it is naural What is not available to us is very surprising for us,we will witness many wonders from our small planet,C...

The good news is that CNN paused for a second from spreading lies and misinformation.

Very important information 🤦🏻‍♂️

I think it's going to get worse. Seeking a friend who can talk to me about political national issues. If you want to please follow me ....1

Imagine a good news from CNN. Clap

Global Warming is so bad we got Mars sick
