Wind and Radiation on Mars | NASA Planetary Sciences

Discover how and why Curiosity, the Mars rover, measures wind and radiation on Mars. Mars Science Laboratory scientist Ashwin Vasavada describes two of the instruments onboard the rover that study Mars' present environment. The Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) measures high-energy radiation from cosmic rays and the Sun. The Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) is a weather station that measures pressure, humidity, temperature, and wind. Curiosity has measured dips in pressure (possibly from vortices similar to dust devils) and interesting winds in Gale crater.

Measuring Distance in the Solar System | NASA Planetary Sciences

Explore how astronomers and scientists use astronomical units to measure distances in the solar system in this video adapted from NASA. The astronomical unit (au) -- equal to the average distance from Earth to the Sun -- is a convenient unit of measure when talking about distances in the solar syste
