Can You See The Surface Of Mars With A Telescope?

The answer is yes. While we cannot see the surface of Mars with just a telescope, we can see different features on it’s surface.
The best time to look at Mars is during the opposition.

In the year 2022, there will be two opportunities, on December 1th and on December 8th. Keep an eye out for this date,(check table below) and you will be able to see the planet’s surface with your telescope!

How to see Mars through a telescope (Fast tips)

Mars is one of the closest planets to Earth. It is so close that it can even be seen without a telescope. But with the telescope, you can see the ice caps and the craters on Mars caused by meteors and volcanoes. Depending on how big a telescope you have (of course).

Few quick steps to see Mars:

Step 1) Find a safe location without any other light sources near you, like street lamps or porch lights.

Step 2) Choose an evening with clear, stable air…

Step 3) Use a telescope with at least a 10-inch aperture and make sure it has an eyepiece with at least 100x magnification and 600x magnification. Remember that lower magnifications will show more details than higher ones, so use your judgment on what’s best for you.

Step 4) Point the telescope to Mars and find its location in the sky.

Step 5) If you are a beginner, don’t worry! You’ll get better at it quickly. Just try it again tomorrow, and you should be able to do a bit better now that you know what to expect.

Step 6) Don’t rush; enjoy the view of the red planet.

Here is a view of Earth and its moon, as seen from Mars. It combines two images acquired on Nov. 20, 2016, by the HiRISE camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, with brightness adjusted separately for Earth and the moon to show details on both bodies.

A Brief Introduction to planet Mars

Mars is the fourth planet to orbit our sun and the second-smallest in our solar system. It has a surface made up of red dirt and craters.

We know that Mars is about half as big as Earth. It has an atmosphere that’s 100 times thinner than Earth’s., which means it has too little air to breathe. The planet also has a thin layer of ice at its poles, which sometimes melts during summertime, but quickly refreezes in wintertime.

Mars also has two small moons called Phobos and Deimos. They are both tiny with only one-sixth of Earth’s gravity, so they don’t have much air either if they had any at all!

What is the Atmosphere on Mars?

The atmosphere on Mars is different from Earth’s atmosphere, but there are many parallels.
Mars’ atmosphere is thin and cold, with about 1% of Earth’s pressure. It includes mainly carbon dioxide 95% and argon gas. The atmosphere also contains small amounts of nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and noble gases.

Mars’ surface air pressure has changed over the years, but it is now comparable to Earth’s. Temperature changes also change the atmospheric pressure on Mars.

Scientists have watched this thin Martian atmosphere since the 1970s through various ways, including satellite observations and data from probes that have landed on Mars’ surface.

Mars Opposition (table with years)

Earth and Mars orbit each other, which means they are never in alignment for a long time. The 2 planets are both orbited by the sun, meaning that Earth has to wait until Mars is on the other side of its orbit before it ends up passing by. This event happens about every 2 years and 2 months, but it may not be for another 3 years due to their respective orbits.
In this list, you can check how close Mars is right now:

Talking about SpaceX to Mars Mision

Well, I have to say few words about it.

SpaceX Mars’ goal is to establish a colony of people on the planet, contributing to humanity’s chances of survival.
SpaceX is a space exploration company, which designs and launches spacecraft such as the Falcon 9 rocket & Dragon spacecraft.

Their first-ever mission was in 2004. The company has grown significantly in such a short time and is now one of the most sought-after companies for private spaceflight. Elon Musk is the CEO, and his ultimate aspiration is to make humans rulers of all planets in our solar system.
Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, states that “I think it would be cool if we were on Mars because then we would have the best view in the solar system as well as having a gravitational assist from Mars for eventual travel to Jupiter.”

Maybe you are not the person who will go to Mars, but that doesn’t mean that you cant be part of the Mars Society.

Conclusion

Mars has been a subject of speculation and scientific inquiry for centuries, but it was not until 1965 that astronomers first had evidence that Mars had surface markings similar to those found on Earth.

It is now clear that Mars hosts an environmental landscape with extensive surface water, icecaps, and clouds.

The Red Planet is a fascinating place to study, and it has an atmosphere with water vapor that can sometimes be seen. Mars is a desolate place for humans to live, but there are some things we can do if we were able to go there.
