If you have some spare time on your hands and you’re captivated by NASA’s extraordinary exploits on Mars, then how about getting involved yourself by helping scientists solve one of the red planet’s enduring mysteries?
Marek Slipski, a postdoctoral researcher at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory , which oversees Mars missions, said a key part of the study will involve trying to find out what triggers the formation of martian clouds, “especially water ice clouds, which could teach us how high water vapor gets in the atmosphere — and during which seasons.”
Participants looking through the data on the citizen science platform Zooniverse are being asked to highlight the arches, which will enable the scientists to more efficiently determine where in the atmosphere they occur.
