Pa Mars, kadamsana pang'ono wadzuwa sikosowa kwenikweni monga Padziko Lapansi. Chifukwa chake NASA ya Mars Curiosity rover ijambulitsa mazana azithunzi zowonera anthu akunyumba kuti ooh and aah over.
Miyezi iwiri imayenda mozungulira dziko lofiira ndipo ili pafupi komanso mwachangu kuposa mwezi wathu womwe ukupita, kotero kadamsana ndi wofala kwambiri. Asayansi amati pali nyengo ya kadamsana pa Mars, ndipo ndi nthawi ya chaka pamene miyezi ya Mars imasinthana kuluma dzuwa.
Chidwi chinatembenuza makamera ake kuti ayang'ane kumwamba kuti awone zomwe zikuchitika mu kadamsana katatu, kuyambira sabata yatha mpaka Lachitatu, pomwe mwezi unatsetsereka pang'ono pakati pa Mars ndi dzuwa.
Rover yakhala ikuwonetsa zithunzi za Martian landscape kuyambira pomwe idatera pafupi ndi equator mwezi watha.
Wasayansi waku Texas A&M University, Mark Lemmon, adati zithunzi za kadamsanazi zithandiza asayansi kudziwa tsogolo la mwezi waukulu wa Martian, Phobos, womwe ukucheperachepera pozungulira Mars. Pazaka 10 mpaka 15 miliyoni, Phobos idzayandikira kwambiri ku Mars kotero kuti idzasweka ndikugwera padziko lapansi.
Miyezi imeneyi sizinthu chabe zachidwi. Amayandikira kwambiri ku Mars kotero kuti "amasintha mawonekedwe a Mars pang'ono" ndi kukoka kwawo, adatero Lemmon.
Oyendayenda akale atenga zithunzi za kadamsana wa dzuwa kuchokera ku Mars, koma osati ndi makamera abwino kwambiri omwe amatenga zithunzi zapamwamba komanso zojambula zambiri zomwe zimapanga filimu yamtundu wina, Lemmon adati.
Ndipo tsopano Chidwi chikuyang'ana kumwamba, ndi nthawi yoti chombo cha Mini Cooper chiyang'ane pansi. Lachisanu, Curiosity idzayesa mwala wake woyamba ndi laser ndi zida zina zoyesera mankhwala kumapeto kwa mkono wake wa robotic.
Cholinga chake choyamba ndi thanthwe lakuda looneka ngati piramidi, pafupifupi mainchesi 10 kutalika ndi mainchesi 16 m'munsi. Zipangizo ziwiri za m'manja zonunkhira mankhwala zidzagwedezeka pa thanthwe - lotchedwa Jake Matijevic, injiniya wa Mars rover yemwe wamwalira posachedwa - kotero asayansi atha kudziwa chomwe chimapangidwira.
“Ndi thanthwe looneka bwino lomwe lili m’zigwa,” anatero wasayansi wa Mars Science Laboratory John Grotzinger. Koma sizodabwitsa ndipo zikuwoneka ngati zofananira ndi miyala yam'mbuyomu yomwe adayesapo kale. Izi zimapangitsa kukhala chiyambi chabwino cha zida zoyesera za rover.
Ndiwo mtundu wa mwala womwe wamwazikana ku Mars mwina utawombedwa kuchokera ku chigwa pamene unagunda ndi asteroid kapena chinachake, Grotzinger anatero.
