Is Mars Really Red? A Physicist Explains the Science Behind Its Colour and More
- Saturday June 21, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A physicist explains the science behind Mars’s red appearance, linking its hue to iron oxide or rust. While known as the Red Planet, rover images and telescope data show varied colors, from tan to white ice caps. Observations in ultraviolet and infrared light reveal deeper insights into Mars’s atmosphere, surface, and seasonal changes, enrichin...

Mars Satellite Images Reveal Giant 'Kidney Beans,' Sparking Hints of Water and Life
- Thursday January 16, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured images of frozen sand dunes in Mars' northern hemisphere, revealing unique formations halted by carbon dioxide frost during winter. Unlike Earth's desert dunes, which shift with wind, these Martian dunes remain stationary until spring thaw releases their icy grip. Scientists study these features to unders...

Mars May Have Been Habitable in the Past, NASA Rover Observations Suggest Water Presence: Scientists
- Thursday August 10, 2023
- Press Trust of India
Mars may have seen dry and wet season cycles and thus, may have been habitable at some point in its past, according to scientists. Analysis of mud crack patterns on the early Martian surface, observed by NASA's Curiosity Rover, suggest an irregular or episodic presence of water, meaning water could have been present for a time and then evaporated.

Mars' Blue Ripples Shed Light on Wind Behaviour on the Red Planet's Surface
- Tuesday August 2, 2022
- Edited by Gadgets 360 Newsdesk
NASA's Reconnaissance Orbiter has captured an intriguing picture of Mars. Taken near the centre of the Gamboa Crater on the Red Planet, the image features some blue ripples on the planet with red surface. According to NASA, the picture is called a false-colour image that helps scientists learn about the weather and geology.
