The Mars Express and Beagle 2 probe - Artist view - Mars Express and Beagle 2 - Separation of the Beagle 2 module. The Beagle 2 landing gear that was supposed to perform analysis on the surface of Mars did not work. The European Mars Express probe was launched on 2 June 2003 and began its observations in early 2004. Illustration showing the separation of Beagle 2 from Mars Express. Beagle 2 was lost but the european spaceprobe Mars Express began its March observations in 2004

Primitive Earth - Artist's View - Ancient terrestrial landscape - Artist's view of the Earth about 4 billion years ago. Volcanoes dominate the landscape. This is how the surface of the Earth may have appeared beneath its clouds about 500 million years after its birth. Massive volcanoes and lava fields still dominate the landscape. In a few million years rain will begin falling, further cooling the crust. In about another 200 million years the first living microbes will call the Earth home

Size comparison: Enceladus, Earth and Moon satellite - Enceladus, Earth, and Earth's Moon Compared - Saturn Enceladus satellite (500 km in diameter) compares with Earth and Moon. Enceladus is considered one of Saturn's major satellites, however it is quite diminutive when compared with the Earth and Earth's Moon. With a radius of only 160 miles, Enceladus could rest in the Gulf of Mexico with plenty of room to spare. Enceladus is one of the brightest objects in the Solar System. Where Earth's Moon has a surface reflectively about the same as charcoal, Enceladus is covered in water ice that reflects sunlight like freshly fallen snow

Comparison between Earth and Mars - Earth and Mars compared - Comparison at the scale of Earth and Mars sizes. The diameter of the planet Mars is half the diameter of the Earth. Mars' diameter is half that of the Earth's It has ten percent the mass If you weigh 180 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only 68 pounds on Mars. Mars is half again further from the Sun than the Earth The vast deserts of North Africa are no match for the planet-wide desert that is Mars. While the Earth is host to oceans of liquid water and has a relatively dense water-rich atmosphere, Mars is exceedingly dry, cold, and so far as we know, sterile. It is believed that Mars lost most of its water to space a long time ago, and any water that remains is frozen at the poles and locked deep in the ground as permafrost. It is an interesting coincidence that the total surface area of Mars is about the same as the surface area of dry land on the Earth

Martian dunes at the end of winter - March: Late Winter view of Dunes: Detail on dunes in the southern hemisphere of Mars. With the end of winter, the Sun melts the carbon dioxide ice present all winter. Image obtained by the HIRISE camera of the Mars Reconnaissance probe orbiter on March 21, 2016. HIRISE is a 50 cm telescope that observes visible and near infrared. Sand dunes cover much of this terrain, which has large boulders lying on flat areas between the dunes. It is now late winter here in the Southern hemisphere, and these dunes are just getting enough sunlight to start defrosting their seasonal cover of carbon dioxide. Spots form where pressurized carbon dioxide gas escapes to the surface

Phobos and Mars - Illustration - Phobos and Mars - Illustration - Artist's view of Phobos, the largest of Mars's two satellites. This is how Mars and its tiny satellite Phobos might appear from a distance of about 100 miles from Phobos' surface. Phobos is over the low martian plains of Syrtis Major. Below the plains extending down to Mars' terminator and beyond is the heavily cratered Terra Sabaea. Clouds of water - ice crystals are forming at the terminator between light and dark. Looking more like a common potato than a celestial body, Phobos is actually the larger of Mars' two satellites, with a length of about 16 miles and about 11 miles across its smallest dimension. Phobos does not have enough mass for gravity to pull it into a uniform sphere like the larger satellites and planets in the Solar System. Phobos may be an asteroid long ago captured by Mars' gravity, orbiting a mere 5,800 miles above Mars' surface, making it the closest satellite to its host planet in the Solar System

Image obtained by the HIRISE camera of the Mars Reconnaissance probe orbiter on 1 September 2008. HIRISE is a 50 cm telescope that observes visible and near infrared. This dune field formed near the base of the North Polar cap. Dunes require a source of loose particulate material to form. The source of the northern dune fields around the polar cap may be from the layers of dusty ice that are eroded by strong polar winds. This image was taken during the Martian northern summer, so there is no frost present on the dunes. The dunes closest to the base of the polar cap are long and parallel, indicating strong winds from the direction of the cap. As they get farther away from the polar cap, they start to form more crescent shaped dunes, called barchan dunes. Repeated observations by HiRise of dunes like these show measurable changes in some locations. This discovery adds to t

This is how Teide 1 might appear from the surface of a hypothetical, March - like planet. Discovered in 1995, Teide 1 is a type of mysterious object called a brown dwarf (failed star or super planet). Bigger than a planet, but smaller than a star, this brown dwarf is about 400 light years from the Earth in the Pleiades star cluster. It is thought that Teide 1 has the mass equivalent of about 55 Jupiters, which is considered large for a brown dwarf. Teide 1 is massive enough, and hence hot enough, to sustain lithium fusion in its core, but is unable to initiate hydrogen fusion like our sun. Teide 1 is probably only about 120 million years old (compared to our sun's age of 4.5 billion years) and shines at a temperature of 4,000o F,

While Mars has an atmosphere, it contains no breathable oxygen and is so thin that the surface air pressure is about the same as the Earth's 18 miles above sea level. To venture outside, humans would need hardy suits that would supply pressure, oxygen, moisture, warmth, and insulate them from the fine martian dust that may be both abrasive and caustic. Even with these precautions, humans would still be vulnerable to radiation from solar storms and the continual rain of interstellar cosmic rays

While Mars has an atmosphere, it contains no breathable oxygen and is so thin that the surface air pressure is about the same as the Earth's 18 miles above sea level. To venture outside, humans would need hardy suits that would supply pressure, oxygen, moisture, warmth, and insulate them from the fine martian dust that may be both abrasive and caustic. Even with these precautions, humans would still be vulnerable to radiation from solar storms and the continual rain of interstellar cosmic rays

Exploration of Mars-Illustration - Martian “” Motor Home”” - The exploration of Mars by men will require vehicles that can take a crew long distances and provide them with all the necessary protection against this hostile environment. A thorough human exploration of Mars would require some means for transporting explorers long distances over the martian surface while providing sustenance and protection from Mars' extremely inhospitable environment. This image suggests how such a martian “” motor home”” might be realized. Providing transportation and housing for a crew of two to four human explorers, this pressurized rover would provide stability, visibility, storage, and a means for generating power for locomotion and electrical systems. In this example, a pair of wing-like solar arrays atop the rover help to meet some of the energy needs, and the transparent windshield ports have been coated to shield the interior from ultraviolet light and provide additional visual contrast to the ru

This artist's impression shows four stages of the development of the inner Solar System over a period of almost five billion years. The top panel shows the earliest stage where the debris disc around the Sun was composed of gas and tiny particles, typically less than one millimetre across. At the second stage the particles have formed large clumps, roughly 100 kilometers across and, similar to the asteroid Lutetia. These bodies in turn formed the rocky planets including the Earth, shown in the third panel down. Over the subsequent four billion years the surface of the Earth developed to what we know now under the influence of meteor bombardment that delivered volatile materials including water, and the evolution of life on its surface
