A few months ago the James Webb telescope amazed us with its beautiful images of the cosmos. This is the most powerful telescope that NASA currently has, which was demonstrated by its photographs. Now he managed to capture some shots of the surface of Mars with great quality.
Thanks to his technology, he managed to capture images of the red planet within different spectra. In addition to giving us some of the best glimpses of our neighbor, the photographs will help the scientific community. Since with the captured parameters, they can study different phenomena that occur on a daily basis.

Eventually the James Webb Telescope will take pictures of areas other than Mars. In order to obtain much more information to study its surface and its elements. Thanks to its technology, it is capable of detecting the presence of methane and hydrogen chloride in the air.
These first images of Mars were captured as part of a program run by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy. We can hope that they are the first of many that James Webb will capture from our neighbor. Since science is very determined to reveal the mysteries that the red planet keeps.
How can the James Webb telescope help study Mars?
The images captured by the James Webb telescope show its ability in terms of spectroscopy. This is that it shows the differences in the light captured on its surface. The changes between brightnesses can be analyzed by astronomers. Based on the features they see, they can obtain data about the planet’s surface and atmosphere.

This in turn will allow us to learn a little more about the functioning of different regions of Mars. With which it is intended to find the answers to certain questions that have been forming for years. As if there was once water and life somewhere on its surface. Do you think we’ll know soon?
