What Would Mars Look Like if an Astronaut Could Orbit the Planet? (Mars Report - Nov. 2023)
NASA’s Mars Odyssey orbiter captured the first-ever views of Mars that showcase the curving horizon and layers of atmosphere, similar to what an astronaut sees of Earth from the International Space Station. While there are no astronauts yet at Mars, this view gives us a sense of what they might see: The series of panoramic images was taken from an altitude of about 250 miles (400 kilometers), the same altitude at which the space station flies above Earth. These new images, which capture gauzy layers of clouds and dust, will help scientists better understand the Martian atmosphere.
In this Mars Report, learn how engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Lockheed Martin Space, which built Odyssey, had to maneuver the spacecraft to capture these views. Odyssey Deputy Project Scientist Laura Kerber also breaks down the significance of the new images.
The 2001 Mars Odyssey mission is NASA’s longest operating spacecraft at Mars, marking 22 years in orbit in October 2023.

Mars odyssey is pretty underrated
No offense intended, but "underrated" has become a meaningless word due to its rampant overuse. 😐
Overused yes but meaningless? Cmon now.
@@TheStockwellwhat so am I not allowed to use underrated in the real world now because it’s meaningless. Yeah like you get to change the dictionary.
Nasa lies and youtube is propaganda
@@HistoryOnPaper people think they can say whatever foolishness comes to mind just because they prefaced it with "no offense, but..."
What a lovely video. Excellent work Laura + odyssey team!
Congratz on the 100,000 orbits,wish it had been longer,was interested in the horizon view with the cloud layers.
Nice update and congrats on the mission longevity record. Wish JPL would work with the Mars Guy channel, he's been doing a great job but could use more direct resources and information
Laura Kerber did a great job of explaining the pictures taken of Mars by the Odyssey Orbiter! She has a delightful speaking voice and a real passion for the work she does! i’m always impressed by the people who work for NASA because I believe they are very dedicated & passionate about space exploration. This is a perfect example of how American Institutions such as NASA can accomplish great things!
awesome good work jpl
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Everything is beautiful.
Cool!! ❤️
Thanks 🤗
Awesome...😎😎😎
Not sure why she said "some of Mars' moons." Mars only has 2; Phobos and Deimos. Unless something has changed that I just don't know about...
nah, you just need to work on your listening comprehension skills
Nice photo shoot haha
Nice work and report, lady astronaut
Well, it would look like Mars with an astronaut orbiting it. That was a real easy one!
Wow
Good.
Это здорово
🙏🙏
...Potato Shaped ... - me yum , its gone ! Do we have more Potato shaped ?
One more, after you finished that first one, so pace yourself.
That sound of impact from the space ship at the end, not sure it would sound like that on a planet with more than 90 percent less atmosphere of earth. But ok, these are the rocket scientists.
In my mind, a moon is more than a captured asteroid as a planet is more than a Plutoid.
Oh good mision to mars
I did that so many times already - in Disneyland. Way cheaper too.
If astronauts can be able to revolve the planet, that will become tiny in size or subdivided into parts.😊
A lot of the stuff she saying don’t make sense as far as rock mapping. You would think that it was already done already 😮
Um site cheio de informações e conhecimentos como esse está com 300 like e entra num site de fofoca ou sobre a vida de artista está com 40 mil like. O ser humano é difícil de entender
Nasa deserves defense-level budgets.
Then they better to be able to defend America too. Not sure the space program is in a position anymore to argue that they are bringing lots of useful things to the general public anymore, beyond pretty pictures.
I am in Curiosity sol 1065. Curiosity sees me in the rim of Gale crater. You can see me too. Come see.
Where is Parkar solar prob no update this mission why
Because too many people can't spell "Parker," "probe," or use coherent punctuation. NASA doesn't produce content on demand. Also, you can find plenty of information on the subject - but you have to put a little effort into it. Best wishes from Vermont 🍁
It's very far from the sun right now, it will reach it's perihelion (Closest point in it's orbit) around the sun.
NASA Goddard oversees the Parker Solar Probe so look for updates on their channel. Here's what they have so far: www.youtube.com/@NASAGoddard/search?query=parker%20solar%20probe
Is this a question from NASA engineering kindy ? It would not change its appearance in anyway whatsoever. I thought engineers should know that already.
There is the theory that anything being viewed instantly changes whatever is being viewed and what is observing it.
Why does she sounds canadian?
Don't you mean Canadian, Eh?
First view
…and at the same time the biggest loser!
I was the first person to watch this video
No. You weren't. 🙄
So you are the editor or the uploader?
Well spent tax dollars!
Now that's comedy!
and?
water on Mars.... u need to go back to logic class
What's your objection? We KNOW there's water ice & water vapour on Mars - it's not in dispute.
Phoenix lander in 2008 discovered water on mars surface
?? there is water on mars. in the form of ice, clouds, and (i think) vapor.
@@hamzahkhan8952 not possible... lol, its minus 80 to 300 ... so its ice you mean.... or are u thinking its not ice... then u say its ice... well then hydrogen and oxygen is in the air... cause it actually 100 has to be in the air for ice to exist.... ... ... has to be... ... ... ... .... ... . ... .... cause u know what ice is made of ... ... .... ... hydrogen and oxygen.... .... ..... ..... ..... ..... ... so there is zero... .... .... .... .... ... ..so there is ZERO ice.... ... .... ... ... . ... ...... ...or is logic broken since all the simp believe in black holes?
@@SaneGuyFr dry ice is co2
Imagine this is all CGI and your tax money is wanished in thin air.
