NASA recently concluded that it needs to dig deeper in its search for ancient life on Mars. We can learn more from the Red Planet than that, however. We still don't know a lot about Mars. NASA hopes the public can help solve these mysteries.
The NASA Cloudspotting on Mars project posted a request for public participation on Tuesday. NASA's Citizen Science Seed Funding program has funded the first planetary science project.
With the help of those around the world, NASA hopes to solve a Mars mystery that has long baffled its scientists: what triggers clouds to form on Mars
What can you do to help solve this Mars mystery Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has gathered data for over 16 years.
Citizen science platform Zooniverse makes that data readily available to the public. In essence, it needs the public to help sift through the data captured by MRO.
The MRO captures data in infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye. MRO and other spacecraft, however, have instruments that can see through that spectrum.
In the MRO's infrared images of Mars' atmosphere, NASA wants the public to look for any signs of clouds. Identifying these clouds, which appear as arches in MRO data, may help solve this longstanding Mars mystery.
It is believed that Mars was once a habitable planet. Our now dusty neighbor once had lakes and rivers covering its surface. NASA's Curiosity rover has even found rocks that seem to confirm those beliefs.
Currently, liquid water vaporizes on the planet's surface and enters its thin atmosphere. However, how and when clouds form on Mars has remained a mystery.
On Mars, two types of clouds form. The first type of cloud is water ice, like those we see on Earth. Carbon dioxide, like dry ice, is the second type. When the atmosphere becomes cold enough, the clouds freeze.
Algorithms have been tinkered with by the space agency to spot clouds. However, relying on humans to spot them by eye is much easier.
NASA hopes to determine when and where clouds form. The space agency hopes to gain a better understanding of the planet's middle atmosphere if it can.
Moreover, it may help us understand how Mars' atmosphere became so thin in the first place. As a result, NASA will be able to solve one of the longest-standing Martian mysteries.
