Looks like the Perseverance rover snapped a rainbow on Mars. The truth!

Since NASA’s Perseverance rover landed on Mars, it has been capturing beautiful views of Earth. More recently, it is believed to have clicked on the Martian rainbow. While it looks like the rover just touched down on Earth just a few days ago, it will be celebrating its first birthday.

The Perseverance rover will touch down on Earth on February 18, 2021. Since then, it has been clicking pictures and sending them to Earth every day. Perseverance shared photos of Mars’ unique rock formations, mountains, eerie sunrises, and more.

The most recent photo of the rainbow was taken with Perseverance’s right rear hazard camera and acquired by NASA on January 9 (Sol 316) at 14:54. The picture shows the yellow sky of the planet, the endless sandy fields and the large sand dunes in the distance. It also shows rainbows similar to what we see on Earth.

Unfortunately, what you see above is not a rainbow. Instead, it’s just a simple lens flare for Perseverance cameras. This happened from time to time when Perseverance photographed the Red Planet. It sets up its lens, the sun reflects its light just right, and a flare like the one above appears.

Rainbows are real on Mars

Rainbows are impossible on Mars. Rainbows are the result of light reflecting off water droplets on the ground. Because of the severe water shortage on Mars, the chemicals just didn’t work like a rainbow.

Nasa’s old map of Jupiter, which reminds many of dosa, has gone viral once more

Certain images or videos frequently resurface on the Internet, leaving people speechless. When those clips or pictures are shared again on one social media platform or another, they create a buzz. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) created and posted this image of a map of Jupiter online a few years ago. After being shared on Twitter, the image drew a lot of attention this time. And, as usual, the image made people think of dosa, a popular South Indian dish.

The image was shared by the Twitter account Latest in Space. “From the very bottom of Jupiter, I’m looking up. While tweeting the image, they wrote, “Seen by NASA Cassini.” The images from the Cassini spacecraft’s narrow-angle camera were used to create this out-of-this-world image, which is part of a coloured map series produced by the space agency.

The article was published a few days ago. The tweet has received nearly 20,000 likes since it was shared, and the number is growing. The tweet has been retweeted more than 2,000 times. Take a look at some of the comments to see how the image of Jupiter looks like dosa.

A Twitter user commented, “Looks like a designer dosa.” “When I rush to pick up a call, this is what happens to my dosa on the dosa pan,” one joked. “This is how my mother makes Dosa,” a third said. “Jupiter in the making,” wrote a fourth, along with a photo of someone preparing – you guessed it – dosa.
