NASA’S oldest spacecraft MRO captures spectacular dark avalanche on Mars

NASA’S oldest craft Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has captured a spectacular dark avalanche on Mars’ 1,640-foot-tall (500-meter-tall) cliff. In an Im taken earlier but released by ncy on  15th anniversary of craft, NASA provided a glimpse into phemen on Red planet as large chunks of material collapses downward from a tall structure in Mars’ rth pole during spring. “As temperatures increase and vaporize ice, destabilized ice blocks break loose and kick up dust,” NASA explained in a release.  

NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter MRO is one of oldest craft to scrutinize Red Planet. "Every spring, sun shines on side of stack of layers at rth pole of Mars kwn as rth polar layered deposits. warmth destabilizes ice, and blocks break loose," scientists wrote about MRO. Explaining Avalanche on Mars, y said, when MRO reaches bottom of more than 500-meter-tall [1,650 feet] cliff, “ blocks kick up a cloud of dust.”. It ded, “ layers beneath are different colors and textures depending on amount of dust mixed with ice."

newly released im of Avalanche was captured by NASA on May 29 with help of a telescopic camera, using  High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE). craft was first launched in March 2006 on a $720 million worth mission. Apart from MRO, re are two or orbiters, NASA's Mars Odyssey and MAVEN on Mars, exploring Red planet.  

NGC 1614 im released

Earlier, NASA and European Station released a ‘stunning’ photograph of an eccentrically shaped galaxy kwn as  NGC 1614 captured by NASA’s Hubble Telescope. In an official statement, NASA revealed that galaxy abounds in several activities was over 200 million light-years from Earth was spotted nearby Eridanus, a celestial river located in sourn constellation.  sixth-largest constellation, Eridanus, includes Achernar, one of brightest stars in sky,  star Epsilon Eridani, Eridanus Supervoid, largest void kwn in universe.
