NASA has revealed a new panorama of Mars
Source:
The first in the history of mankind photo, taken from the surface of Mars.
When in 1976, the Rover “Viking-1” for the first time in the history of mankind made the first black and white photo of the surface , astronomical science has completely changed its course, moving to a new stage in its development. After 45 years, the Rover opportunity was able to provide professionals a detailed panorama of the Martian landscape, showing the desolate world of our cosmic neighbor. eat can be remarkable the last picture of the famous Rover?
looks Like the surface of Mars?
New 360-degree photo was made famous by the Mars Rover “Opportunity”, whose planned 90 days of the study the Martian Sands stretched in the end of 15 years of continuous travel on the surface of the red planet. As the portal made by the Rover was not only one of the most impressive, but the last farewell. The famous photo was taken in a place where the device was caught in a powerful dust storm, for a long time deprived of the device of the ability to recharge through solar energy. Over the last 29 days of work, “Opportunity” has created a series of 354 individual pictures, which were further sent for analysis and further processing.
Last panorama of the Rover “Opportunity”
The last image of the Rover clearly one can see the edge of endeavour crater, towering in the distance. Just left from this place the traces of the Rover begins its descent over the horizon and gone down to the geological features of the Martian landscape that NASA scientists hope to study more in the near future. The most promising sites for the study, thus, should be the bottom of the Valley of Perseverance and the bottom is already mentioned above endeavour crater.
When, after sending the latest pictures of the Martian surface, the Rover was finally silent, and NASA experts decided on completion of the mission, across the network almost instantly dispersed the so-called “last words” “opportunity” “My battery is low and it's getting dark” (translation: “My battery's dead and it's getting dark”). Of course, the Rover, despite its technical complexity, could not say anything of the kind, and the author of dying words the device became one of the scientific reporters edition of “ABC 7”. Anyway, the phrase is like nothing else best describes the latest data of the Rover, which mention the sharp decrease in transparency of the atmosphere and the drop in the level of energy produced. The result of this event can be seen on recent photographs taken by the Rover in the lower right corner of the image clearly emerges of black-and-white area, “paint” into an actual color of “opportunity” just wasn't strong enough.
Undoubtedly, one day the future space traveler in person or robot, is required to meet with the lost in the Sands of Mars Rover and maybe even find a way again to bring it into working condition. And until this moment did not happen, let us work together to follow the latest news from the red planet's surface in our and .
