Picture of the Day – Stickney Crater

Stickney Crater, the largest crater on the martian moon Phobos, is named for Chloe Angeline Stickney Hall, mathematician and wife of astronomer Asaph Hall. Asaph Hall discovered both the Red Planet’s moons in 1877. Over 9 kilometers across, Stickney is nearly half the diameter of Phobos itself, so large that the impact that blasted out [...]

A Tale of Planetary Woe

Once upon a time — roughly four billion years ago — Mars was warm and wet, much like Earth. Liquid water flowed on the Martian surface in long rivers that emptied into shallow seas. A thick atmosphere blanketed the planet and kept it warm. Living microbes might have even arisen, some scientists believe, starting Mars [...]

Martian landscapes

Martian landscapes - The Big Picture @ Boston.com via Waxy . Since 2006, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has been orbiting Mars, currently circling approximately 300 km (187 mi) above the Martian surface. On board the MRO is HiRISE, the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera, which has been photographing the planet for several years now at resolutions as fine as mere inches per...

Exoplanetary System Shows Signs of Orbital Hyperactivity

Shortly after the planets inside our own solar system were formed, they began wobbling about, and roaming around, far from being caught in the well-defined orbits we see today. This chaotic motion is mainly responsible for the formation of the Moon, after Earth collided with a Mars-sized object that was circling the Sun on about the same orbit. These chaotic times have been history for billions of...

Planets and Meteors

If you are staying up or getting up to watch the 2009 Leonid Meteors , you might take some time and enjoy some other sights the universe has to offer while you are out under a dark sky. The notes here are for the night of the Leonids, November 17th, but as planetary configurations do not change quickly, much is accurate for several weeks either side of that date. Times may change a bit dependent on...

Densest Planet is Earth

The Jeopardy TV game show today asked this question: What is the densest planet in the solar system? The planets that are much closer to the sun are dense planets. That is why Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are denser than Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus, and Saturn.Among Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, the densest planet is Earth. The second densest is Mercury.Rank - Name - Density (kg pr. cubic

US Market Astrology for 6th November 2009

Here I am showing the aspects made between Sun Venus and Mars to the other slower moving planets. You can see that yesterday the 5th November there were more soft aspects, and we know that the US market went up. Now look at the aspects for today the 6th November. We have more hards. So it is easier for the markets to go down. Now either they will follow the aspects, or they don't and their volume will...

Predicting Weather on Mars

Weather, in the strictest sense of the term, does not exist on Mars. The planet is surrounded by nothing more than an extremely thin atmosphere, which is about one percent as thick as our own. In spite of that, freezing temperatures, clouds, and dust storms like nothing seen on Earth exist there, and all these events have their own influence on Mars. Now, Istvan Szunyogh, a Texas A&M professor...

MRO Images Frozen Phoenix Lander

The Phoenix Mars Lander was a NASA mission that launched to the Red Planet on August 4, 2007, aboard the Delta II 7925 vehicle. It consisted of a robotic station that was to conduct scientific experiments on Mars, and study surface chemistry, weather patterns, atmospheric conditions, and the landscape too. Originally scheduled to operate for 125 sols (Martian days), and conclude in August 2008, the...

Phoenix snapped in icy overcoat

Back in May, I wrote that NASA's latest Mars lander, Phoenix, was wearing "a thick overcoat of frost" in a feature for BBC Sky at Night magazine. I never expected actually to see that wintry shroud. But astonishing new pictures by a powerful space camera have picked out the scene, high in the martian arctic. The HiRISE camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter picked out the now silent...

Mars Explorers May Use AI to Become ‘Cyborg Astrobiologists’

Written by Nicholos Wethington Ever heard of a ‘Cyborg Astrobiologist’? Probably not. But I bet you’ll want to be one after learning that future exploration of Mars (and other planets, for that matter) may employ the use of artificial intelligence integrated into spacesuits to enhance the ability of astronauts in taking scientific data while exploring. The [...]

New HiRISE Images Show Chilly, Frost-Covered Phoenix Lander

Mars isn’t exactly the warmest place during the winter transition, but as the first few rays of sunshine lick at the planet’s surface we’re able to make out the Phoenix lander shivering under a cover of dry-ice frost. (more…)

The Futura is Now!

It has been quite a while since I posted a chapter of the late-1940s Planet Comics serial, Futura . The reasons for not continuing her saga are partly exhaustion, partly the odd change of direction in the story and partly due to the fact that the original resources for the images were of such poor quality that posting the images would be a disappointment if not to a reader than to myself. The work...
