The 1.8 billion pixel panoramic photo of Mars reveals why the surface of Mars is desolate.

Recently, NASA officially displayed a picture made by? Curiosity? The 1.8-billion-pixel panoramic view of Mars taken by the rover shows that the surface of Mars is desolate. Why is this?

Mars is one of the eight planets in the solar system, which is over 55 million kilometers away from the Earth. Compared with the earth, the geological activities of Mars are inactive, and most of the surface landforms were formed in ancient times, so there are many craters, volcanoes and canyons on Mars, which look very desolate. In addition, the atmosphere of Mars is dominated by carbon dioxide, and sandstorms often occur every year. Therefore, the surface of Mars is desolate, which has a lot to do with its surface atmospheric environment.

In the past, we could only observe Mars through telescopes. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous development of aerospace technology, humans can observe and inspect Mars at close range by launching Mars probes, and the true face of Mars is constantly being known. This 1.8 billion-pixel panoramic photo of Mars was composed of more than 1, photos taken by Curiosity from November 24th to December 1st last year. It took several months for researchers to carefully synthesize these images into a panoramic view with a resolution of 1.8 billion pixels, which made the surface of Mars show in an unobstructed view, shocking and made people admire the advanced technology of the United States in the field of space exploration.

Just looking at the potholes on the surface of Mars, it is even somewhat similar to the Earth. Scientists have also confirmed that there is liquid water on the surface of Mars, which makes people even more curious. Can humans really immigrate to Mars one day in the future?

After the photo was released, it triggered a hot discussion among many netizens. How big is the universe? How small is the earth? In this world, there are still too many unknowns waiting for us to explore and discover. I believe that with the continuous development and progress of space technology, human beings will make greater breakthroughs in their understanding of Mars and gradually deepen their understanding of outer space.
