Weather Forecasts on Mars
Press Release 7/2013 - May 8, 2013
In the north of the red planet snowfalls occur with great regularity. Expeditions of Mars rovers into this region could therefore be easily planned.
Snowstorms lashing down at the northern hemisphere of Mars during the icy cold winters may be predicted several weeks in advance, say researchers from the Tohoku University in Sendai (Japan) and the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Katlenburg-Lindau (Germany) in their newest publication. For the first time, ...

Planeten im Sonnenwind
Press Release 6/2013 - May 3, 2013
Dr. Yong Wei vom Max-Planck-Institut für Sonnensystemforschung erhält den Nachwuchspreis der European Geoscience Union.
Die inneren Planeten Venus, Erde und Mars könnten unterschiedlicher kaum sein: Während unser blauer Planet mit seinen gemäßigten Temperaturen und reichen Wasservorräten Leben hervorbrachte, sorgt auf der Venus ein extremer Treibhauseffekt für Oberflächentemperaturen von etwa 450 Grad Celsius. Der Mars ist heute eine ...

Herschel completes its scientific operational phase
Press Release 5/2013 - April 30, 2013
In more than three and a half years, ESA's mission Herschel allowed for new insights into our solar system.
The Herschel Space Observatory, one of the cornerstone missions of the European Space Agency (ESA) with participation from NASA, has exhausted its supply of liquid helium. Yesterday's communication with the ground station revealed a clear rise in temperature measured from all instruments - a sure sign, that there ...

Icy Exploration of the Jovian System
Press Release 4/2013 - February 22, 2013
The Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research contributes to two instruments for ESA's mission JUICE.
ESA's space probe JUICE (JUpiter ICy moon Explorer) is scheduled to embark on its epic voyage to Jupiter and its icy moons in 2022. One of the mission's main goals is to clarify whether liquid water (and thus the precondition for the evolution of life) can be found hidden deep within Jupiter's moons Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa ...

The Tail of Venus
Press Release 3/2013 - January 29, 2013
When the solar wind nearly breaks off, our neighbor's ionosphere expands into space.
In rare events, the sheath of electrons and ions enveloping Venus in a height of 150 to 300 kilometers can expand into space like a tail. This exceptional deformation occurs on the planet's night side, when the solar wind, the flow of charged particles from the Sun, nearly comes to ...

Vesta: Giant impacts delivered carbon
Press Release 1/2013 - January 3, 2013
Large collisions between asteroids transferred carbonaceous material in the inner solar system.
The protoplanet Vesta has been witness to an eventful past: images taken by the framing camera onboard NASA’s space probe Dawn show two enormous craters in the southern hemisphere. The images were obtained during Dawn’s year-long visit to Vesta that ended in September 2012. These huge ...
