In an impressive discovery, scientists succeeded in determining the speed of the planet Mars during the past hours, that it is increasing day by day, and no one knew the main reason for that, which sparked controversy and surprise among people, according to what was mentioned by the “Al Arabiya” website.
According to NASA, the shifts that bloom with the planet’s mass likely lead to its acceleration, as its movement is somewhat similar to an ice skater, who rotates with his arms outstretched, and then pulls his arms inward.
about 4 milliseconds
And experts continued to shift the rotation speed, by using the data of the “Insight” probe of “NASA”, which continued to work for a period of up to four years, until it ran out of energy last December, after the probe’s data showed that the rotation of Mars may increase in speed. Every year approximately 4 milliseconds.
There is “more to discover”
Sebastien Le Maistre, lead author of a paper documenting the findings, added that the differences are “a few tens of centimeters over the course of a Martian year” and may take a long time to accumulate data before seeing these differences.
He also said that historical experience is just the tip of the iceberg, explaining that there is still “a lot to discover”, as information is being excavated for several years to come.
