Mars 'latest major discovery photos
Recently, some photos related to Mars have attracted attention. For example, the photos taken by the United States in 2008 showed images of " trees "," shrubs " and even humanoid objects, but this was a visual illusion caused by sand dunes, basalts, and frozen soil. In November 2016, NASA's Mars Orbiter captured a photo of a suspected man-made building area near the equator of Mars. The structure was pentagonal and had a group relationship. Some scholars speculated that it might be a large-scale residence of ancient Martians. In addition, the Zhurong rover sent back images of water resources in the rocks near the landing zone. There was also a photo of a similar creepy face on Mars that attracted public attention, but some people thought it was just a visual effect caused by rock formations.

The latest discovery of Mars
Humans have made the following new discoveries about Mars: 1. On April 24,2023, China released the first global image of Mars exploration. It was a color map with a variety of projections. The spatial resolution was 76 meters, providing a better base map for Mars exploration engineering and scientific research. 2. In May 2021, Zhurong landed on the surface of Mars and discovered the presence of water-bearing minerals on the surface of Mars through a short-wave infrared thermometer. This discovery changed scientists 'original understanding of Mars. It was originally thought that Mars had no water 700 million years ago, but now it was found that there were still traces of liquid water activity in the young Amazonian stratum. In addition, China scientists analyzed that these water-bearing minerals may be evidence of underground water activity. 3. The research results published in the National Academy of Sciences on December 2024 showed that there was a large amount of liquid water under the surface of Mars. The research team estimated that the amount of underground water could cover the entire planet of Mars, with a depth of 1 - 2 kilometers. Liquid water was located in tiny cracks and pores in the rocks in the middle of the Martian crust, 11.5 - 20 kilometers from the surface of Mars. 4. China's Mars exploration team began exploring Mars in 2021 and recently discovered traces of aquatic life on Mars, including fish, amphibians, and crustaceans. This discovery provided new evidence for the possibility of life on Mars. 5. NASA's Mars rover data showed that there might be a huge liquid ocean under the surface of Mars, and the amount of water could form a two-kilometer-thick layer of water on the entire surface of Mars. Moreover, the Mars rover often observed water coming out of the ground, which led people to speculate that there might be intelligent creatures living under the surface of Mars.

Mars 'latest discovery of life
The United States 'Perseverance rover had collected rock samples that were suspected to be biological relics. This discovery was likely to be strong evidence of the existence of life on Mars. The rock with leopard-like spots may be the key evidence, because the main components of the spots were plaster, rust, and phosphorus. Some microorganisms on Earth had been found to produce this substance and form fossils. Iron, sulfuric acid, and phosphorus were essential substances for biological metabolism. It was reasonable to suspect that these three substances were caused by Martian creatures. In addition, the Insights probe inferred that there should be a large amount of liquid water 11.5 kilometers to 20 kilometers deep from the Martian surface. Liquid water meant that the possibility of life on Mars increased, but it was not yet completely certain that there was life on Mars. To confirm it, drilling equipment might need to be sent to Mars for in-depth exploration. The novel " Mars of Paradise " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to read it!
What are the success stories in Mars Discovery District?
One success story could be a startup that developed a new technology for space exploration in the Mars Discovery District. They might have created a more efficient propulsion system, which got noticed by major space agencies. This led to contracts and further investment, helping the startup grow rapidly.
The latest information on Mars
Mars was one of the eight planets in the solar system. It was the fourth planet closest to the sun and the second smallest planet in the solar system after Mercury. It was a terrestrial planet. In China, it was called "Mars". In Western ancient Roman mythology, it was imagined as the God of War, Mars, or Ares in Greek mythology. Mars was only 55 million kilometers away from the Earth, and it was 400 million kilometers away from the Earth. Its average diameter was 6794 kilometers, its surface area was about 145 million square kilometers, its volume was about 163 billion cubic kilometers, its mass was 6.42× 1023 kg, and its average density was 3.93 g/cubic centimeter. The Martian atmosphere was very thin. Its main components were carbon dioxide (95%), nitrogen (2.7%), and argon (1.6%). There were also traces of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and oxygen. The oxygen content was extremely low. The temperature ranges from 27 ° C (300 ° K) to-138 ° C (145 ° K), and the global average annual surface temperature is-63 ° C (210 ° K). Mars 'magnetic field was weaker than Earth's, with a surface gravity of 3.693 m/s2 and a maximum brightness of-2.9. It had two natural satellites: Deimos and Deimos. The average length of a Mars sidereal day was 24 hours, 37 minutes, and 22.663 seconds. The average length of a solar day was 88,775.24409 seconds or 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.24409 seconds. The average solar day was only 2.7% longer than Earth's. The International Planetary Organization declared August 27th as the world's "Mars Day." The Martian calendar began in 1955 on Earth, and on November 12th, 2024, Mars '38th New Year began. Mars had the same day and night cycle and four seasons as Earth. Its rotation period was 24 hours, 37 minutes, and 22.7 seconds, and the inclination of its axis was 25.19 degrees. However, the overall temperature of Mars was much lower than that of Earth. The annual average temperature was about-60 degrees Celsius. Moreover, due to the orbital eccentricity of 0.093, which was much flatter than Earth's orbit, the length of Mars 'four seasons was very uneven. Spring and summer in the northern hemisphere were about one-third longer than autumn and winter. When the southern hemisphere of Mars was in spring and summer, the distance between Mars and the sun was relatively close, and the temperature difference between the northern and southern hemisphere was greater. In the second half of the year, violent sandstorms usually occurred, sometimes throughout the entire planet and lasting for more than three months. The Martian New Year began on the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere, and the next Martian New Year would arrive on September 30, 2026. In addition, the formation temperature of Mars was about 450K. The Martian core was smaller than the Earth's core, and the density of the fire core was slightly lower than the Earth's core. However, the Martian mantle was denser than the mantle. The water on Mars may be stored in the Martian crust and mantle in the form of water-bearing minerals. No organic matter was detected in the Martian soil. The novel "Mars of Paradise" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to read it!
The latest research on Mars
Here are some of the latest research results from Mars: - China's "Zhurong" rover data research found that the rock deposits found on the surface of Mars came from an ancient ocean 3.5 billion years ago. By analyzing the data retrieved by the orbiter and the Zhurong rover, the researchers estimated the age of the Martian surface and the mineral composition of the materials found in the southern Utopia Plains. They discovered the unique topographic features of the northern wilderness of Mars, such as the grooves and settling channels that matched the coastal zone. This indicated that there might have been a flood-related formation event about 3.68 billion years ago. In this scenario, the short-lived frozen ocean formed a coastline. The surface of the ocean may have frozen and disappeared 3.42 billion years ago. However, the in-place measurement data of the Zhurong rover could not be used as direct evidence of the existence of ancient oceans, but this discovery increased people's understanding of the evolution of Mars 'climate and provided potential landing sites for future missions to study possible ancient water bodies and their role in shaping Mars' geological features. - China's research team has developed a "Mars battery", which uses the Martian atmospheric composition as the battery reaction fuel material to achieve high energy density and long cycle performance. The research team aimed at the problem of the complex environment of Mars (including multiple gas components and violent temperature fluctuations, with a temperature difference of about 60 degrees Celsius between day and night), which was usually ignored in existing research. They developed a Mars battery that used the Martian atmosphere as a direct fuel. Combined with the temperature fluctuation test, it greatly simulated the real environment on the surface of Mars, thus achieving a Mars battery system that could continuously output electricity. At a low temperature of 0 degrees Celsius, the battery's energy density was as high as 373.9 watt-hours/kg, and its cycle life was 1375 hours, about two Mars months. - A new NASA study reveals that microorganisms may be secretly thriving on Mars. Through computer simulations, scientists speculated that Mars 'dust ice might contain liquid bubbles, which could become a breeding ground for microorganisms. Although Mars 'environment was extreme, with temperatures often below zero and temperatures dropping to-80 ° C at night, there might be small blisters in the ancient ice and ice dust mixed zone on Mars. This was similar to the "ice dust hole" phenomenon on Earth. Once the environment inside the blisters was suitable, microorganisms might live there. This discovery provided a new perspective for the search for extraterrestrial life and a new direction for future Mars exploration. - New research in the United States has found that there may be a large amount of liquid water under the surface of Mars. The water was estimated to be about 11 - 20 kilometers below the Martian crust, hidden in cracks in underground rocks, and the amount of water was reported to be enough to form an ocean on Mars. This discovery was based on NASA's Mars Insights lander's deep scanning of Mars using a Seismograph between 2018 and 2022. The novel "Mars of Paradise" is equally exciting.

Major discovery inside the earth
There were many major discoveries inside Earth: 1. ** Mantle structure and mantle plume related discovery ** - At a depth of 660 kilometers, the mantle is divided into an upper mantle and a lower mantle, where the pressure flattened the crystal lattice of cuspitite into bright-olivine. The mantle contains mantle plumes, which begin at the 150-kilometer transition zone between solid rock and liquid iron core. The upper part of the plume will melt due to the decrease in pressure near the crust, causing the crust to melt and volcanic activity. A volcanic island chain like Hawaii is formed on the oceanic plate above the plume. - Mantle plumes were the branches and processes of two giant superplumes that faced each other around the iron core and were previously thought to be independent of each other. The "large low shear-rate region"(LSVP) was also discovered, where the speed of wave transmission was slower than the speed of the surrounding mantle. For example, the Tuzo region of Africa was about 800 kilometers above sea level, and its branches spread all over the African continent, all the way to Iceland. Branches of the Pacific Ocean were exposed in many volcanic islands. - The superplume activity had a periodic pattern and was consistent with the duration of the supercontinent cycle, which was the stage of complete assembly and disintegration of the supercontinent. The magnetic plume activity lasted for 50 - 700 million years, just like the supercontinent cycle. The existence of the supercontinent coincided with the plume activity, and the subduction plate provided the necessary materials for the LL SVP region. 2. ** Kola ultra-deep hole drilling related discovery ** - The Kola ultra-deep hole was located on the Kola Peninsula in northwestern Russia, with a drilling depth of 12,262 meters. During the drilling process, it was discovered that the temperature and pressure inside the Earth increased sharply with the increase of depth. When drilling to a certain depth, it encountered a high temperature of up to 300 degrees Celsius and huge pressure. At the same time, the crustal-structure was complex, composed of different rock layers with different hardness and fracture degrees. However, a large amount of gold was discovered during the drilling process, which also hinted that there might be more undiscovered resources deep in the earth. 3. ** Earth's internal moisture related discovery ** - It was difficult to determine the exact cause and source of the water that was born millions of years ago deep under the earth's crust and finally came to the rocks deep on the surface after a long journey. Through the analysis of volcanic rock samples near California, the oldest batch of hydrogen minerals was detected, which helped to study the form and source of water in the Earth's interior. 4. ** Freshwater Lake and Earth Rotation Discoveries ** - A huge lake was found in the province of Canada. It may have been formed by the melting of ancient glaciers and the filling of low-lying areas. The study found that freshwater lakes not only had an impact on the surrounding environment and global warming, but also had a direct relationship with the Earth's rotation. They might be interconnected and participate in a huge system. The dynamic evolution of this system affected the shaping of the Earth's surface and the interaction between the atmosphere and the ocean.
The latest news from Mars
The latest news showed that China's probe, Zhurong, had successfully landed on Mars. This was an important step for China's first Mars exploration mission, and it also made China the third country after the United States and the Soviet Union to successfully land on Mars. Previously, humans had conducted 45 explorations of Mars, and only the United States and Russia had successfully implemented 12 soft landings on the surface of Mars. China's Mars exploration mission was a complete success. The lander successfully landed on the " Utopia Plains " in the northern hemisphere of Mars, and the Mars rover " Zhurong " also successfully traveled on Mars. In addition, through the exploration of Zhurong on Mars, scientists discovered signs of water-bearing minerals and recent water activity on Mars, which was of great significance for the study of Mars 'climate evolution and the existence of life. Currently, China planned to implement a human landing on Mars in 2045, the United States planned to implement it in 2033, and SpaceX planned to implement it as early as 2024. Elon Musk said it was "very likely" that humans would land on Mars within 10 years. Overall, the latest news showed that human exploration of Mars had made important progress, but the specific timeline had yet to be determined.
Mars probe latest news
Here is some of the latest news from the Mars probe in 2024: - On July 13, 2024, the Mars Express probe of the European Space Agency took a photo of Mars. In the photo, one could see Mars's moon Phobos, the largest volcano in the solar system, Mount Olympus, and the thin clouds in the upper layer of Mars 'thin atmosphere. This probe has been orbiting Mars for more than 20 years and is still working. - At 20:12 on September 13, 2024 (Beijing time, the 1268th solar day of the mission), the probe used its Mastcam-Z instrument to capture an image of a strange striped rock that was different from any rock seen on Mars. - Tianwen-3 was a Mars probe developed by China. It was planned to be launched around 2028. Its mission was to return samples from Mars, including the six-ascender combination and the orbiter-return combination. After arriving on Mars, the landing combination would implement a soft landing on Mars. The lander would use a robotic arm to collect samples, and then the ascender would launch the samples into orbit to dock with the orbital return combination and transfer the samples to the returnee. Finally, the returnee would return to Earth to recover the samples. By 2024, China's Tianwen-3 probe mission was expected to make China the first country to return Mars samples.

The latest news on the Mars project in 2024
Here are some of the latest news from the 2024 Mars project: - The Mars One Research Institute proposed the Mars landing plan. On January 2, 2014, it was announced that 1058 people would be selected from 200,000 applicants to participate in the second phase of the Mars immigration training. After many rounds of elimination, 24 "Earth warriors" would be selected to go to Mars in six batches in 2024, and they would not be able to return to Earth after landing. - Musk's Mars project also made new progress. October 13, 2024 was an important step for him to realize the Mars project. SpaceX planned to launch 144 rockets in 2024, and Musk once lamented that if he was lucky, he might be able to send humans to Mars within eight years (possibly including the eight years calculated from 2024). In addition, SpaceX was rapidly developing starships and super-heavy boosters at its interstellar base in southern Texas. The starship was a type of re-usable rocket and spacecraft consisting of an upper spacecraft and a lower propeller. The combination of the two was the largest and most powerful vehicle to date. Although SpaceX had conducted five high-altitude flight tests, four of which had exploded or crashed, it was still working toward the Mars project. Its goal was to send one million people to Mars by 2050. First, it would send a robotic module to Mars to perform a series of missions to build a Mars base, such as ultrasonic geological exploration, excavation, soil refining and grinding, and 3D printing. - In terms of technology, Mars colonization faced many challenges, such as sending people and materials to Mars safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively, involving launch windows, voyages, entry, landing, and landing, on-orbit operation, ground exploration, and many other links. At present, human exploration of Mars was in its infancy, and the failure rate of Mars exploration missions exceeded half. And even if the spacecraft successfully entered Mars orbit, landing safely on Mars was still a huge challenge. The Martian atmosphere was thin, and traditional parachutes and other deceleration devices could not work effectively. SpaceX had designed a "back-belly" landing method, but the operation was complicated and unprecedented. At the same time, it was not easy to maintain communication, navigation, power supply, and other functions on the surface of Mars. On the economic side, it would cost about $5 billion to transport 100 passengers and 100 tons of cargo to Mars. The total cost of building a Mars city with a population of 1 million would reach $5 trillion. SpaceX's revenue from commercial contracts was far from enough to support the Mars project. Although the Star Chain project it developed wanted to provide financial support for the Mars project, it also faced many problems such as cost and competition. - Solar energy could be used on Mars. China's "Tianwen-1" Mars probe was equipped with solar collectors. NASA's "Perseverance" and "Wit" Mars helicopters also used solar cell technology. The novel "Mars of Paradise" is equally exciting.
