News 24 | Snow and wonderful scenes.. NASA documents the beauty of winter on Mars (video)

The data and a video clip released by the US space agency “NASA” revealed the beauty of winter on Mars, as it showed unique scenes of snow formation and snowfall at its poles.

And ‘NASA’ said the ‘Perseverance’ vehicle was able to monitor images of an ancient river delta that fed Jezero crater billions of years ago.

According to the same sources, it is dust that leads to the formation of the weather on Mars, and dust usually heralds the arrival of winter, but the planet is no stranger to snow, ice and frost. At the poles of Mars, temperatures they can drop to less than negative 123 degrees Celsius.

There are also two types of ice on Mars, one is the type on Earth, which consists of water ice, and the other type of Martian snow depends on carbon dioxide, or dry ice.

And a statement from ‘NASA’ quoted Martian science scientist Sylvain Pico as saying there is enough snow falling on the Red Planet to allow you to walk on snowshoes, and if you want to ski, you can go up a track.

So far, no orbital vehicle or rover has been able to see snowfall on the Red Planet, because the weather phenomenon only occurs at the poles under cloud cover at night, and cameras on orbiting vehicles cannot see through the clouds, according to CNN. .

But the Phoenix probe, which arrived on Mars in 2008, used one of its laser instruments to detect water ice from about 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers) from Mars’ north pole.
