Mars has been affecting human imagination for thousands of years, the main reason is that it has a red color, which has obtained the title “Red Planet”. Its color was associated with blood and war by ancient Romans. In this way, they named it in the name of the God of their war. The result of redness is scientifically with iron oxide – rust that coats the surface of Mars. Nevertheless, the surface images produced by the robotic investigation have shown a more subtle spectrum. Most of the region looks like more dust tan or rusty brown. Even poles deny the nickname of the planet, which presents as bright white due to water ice and frozen carbon dioxide that spread and contract in seasonal sunlight.
Mars is not just red: binoculars have shown a complex palette of colors, ice caps and hidden properties
According to a recent article published by conversation and reprinted at Space.com, Mars’s iron -rich minerals have been rushed, which is why it looks rusty. Just as iron and oxygen are color, Martin’s dust is naturally rusty. Poly hats, which contain frozen water and carbon dioxide and are clearly different colors, are usually white. The sun indicates sophisticated and refreshing the dried ice layer, which spreads these hats and contracts with seasons.
Pictures taken by previous missions and roofs show the palette of Mars, but a telescope and spacecraft equipped with ultra -violet and infrared camera capture false images, causing some confusion about the real color of Mars.
Varnifer observations, infrared and ultra -violet images, and a large number of electromagnetic spectrums are helping scientists investigate the appearance of Mars, history, formation and potential housing.
Mars can still look red in the sky, but its original story is more complicated. Thanks to science and high resolution cameras, our understanding about this neighboring world is still coming out.
